Pet Friendly Travel

Basenji Talk
  • Hi!
    Last year my husband and I took our two with us on our …. get this....ANNIVERSARY! Yes we did. Why not? they are with us in the bed, why not celebrating our anniversary. Anyway, we live in Southern California and last year we went to Cambria. Cambria is known for their wineries and many of their wineries are doggie friendly.

    This year (May) we are staying at Cambria Pines Lodge and then traveling to Santa Barbara where we'll be staying at Fess Parker. I'll keep you posted as how our stays went and let you know how the lodge fared. Fess Parker is a 5 star hotel and we've stayed there before and their service was excellent!

  • While not a place to stay, if you find yourself driving down I-65 near Montgomery AL (say to the Panhandle), the Peach Park is a great stop to stretch your legs. We traveled down with the kids and the dogs. They have a nice little walking trail, playground and a large grassy area to tie-down your B. Oh, plus some pretty darn good BBQ and cobbler! Peach Park is right off of the interstate.

  • There's a couple of resorts in Ocean City Maryland that we've got reservation for next summer Atlantic Resort and The Waves. I love the beach & looking forward to this place.

    We're also going to Hilton Head in Sept where they have not explicity said NO PETS so I'm hoping the "barkless" dogs stay true to form :)

    This will be a very useful thread for those of us who just can't part from the furbabies :D

  • My husband and I honeymooned in Carmel, CA with our basenji Nicky. Carmel is a very dog friendly town. They have a beach that allows dogs and many dog friendly hotels. The place we stayed we had our own little cabin at the top of the hill leading to the beach. They would bring us breakfast and Nicky a dog biscuit every morning. There were also restaraunts that had special seating for dogs and even had a dog menu.

  • Do you know of any pet friendly hotels, Bed and Breakfast, restaurants or other animal friendly places? Please post them here, if we get enough of a response going for this thread hopefully it will get its own thread and our B's will get to see more of the world!

  • Very cool Bed and Breakfast that my husband and I have reservations for in June. The resort has a dog park, doggie day care, hiking and fun stuff for humans like Golfing packages and Massage packages. We plan on doing the Canoe outing with the dogs.

    You might reach out to BRAT and ask if they have any foster's in your area that would dog-sit for you. They seem to have Basenji foster parents in every city, so they are experienced with Basenji's and would be able to adapt to short stays. Offer a "donation" of sorts and make it very clear that you are not surrendering your little lady. (worth a shot)

    She loves to eat parsley from my garden as well. Shes a goat in a dogs body. When I ment spoiled I ment it in a fillet mignon and lobster everyday type of way. Some ppl go a little crazy that their dog can't eat in a bowl must be a gold plate…. IF she could have it that way she would gladly take that over a bowl any day lol but that's because she thinks shes the queen of the world.

    They just passed one of the strongest animal cruelty bills in the nation here in Utah. I just scanned through really quick and found this: "A person is guilty of cruelty to animals if the person intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence: […] transports or confines an animal in a cruel manner". I'm thinking that with the way that puppy mills treat the mothers would certainly qualify. Hopefully with the whole Michael Vick thing more states will get on the bandwagon and pass laws like Utah has! Make sure your state reps know how you feel about it!

    I use a car harness with My isZi because if I don't she wants to sit on my shoulders and it makes it very hard to drive. I have no idea why she wants on my shoulders even if I'm sitting at the desk on the computer she thinks she has to be on my shoulders. I guess because her ancestor's were carried that way?
