Wherever the great American roads take you, your best friend doesn’t have to miss out on the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The criteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"what](\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/dogcar.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nLocating the most dog-friendly breweries, wineries, distilleries, outdoor beer gardens, brewpubs, parks, hotels, and bars in every single state is no small feat. For this ~very important~ research, each chosen establishment had to meet specific criteria in order to be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each one of these spaces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2714\ufe0f Does not<\/strong> have any breed-discriminatory policies<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u2714\ufe0f Does not<\/strong> have a weight limit<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u2714\ufe0f If local health codes permit, is 100% pet-friendly, meaning they allow dogs both indoors and outdoors<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before embarking on your great American road trip, however, double-check with each destination about their policies. You don’t want to run into any surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some things to consider while traveling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Confirm destinations along the way are pet-friendly<\/li>
- Check to see if there is a pet fee<\/li>
- Have copies of your pet’s vaccination records<\/li>
- Clean up after your pet<\/li>
- Abide by the rules<\/li>
- Practice common sense<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Each establishment is different, but it doesn’t hurt to be mindful of possible rules or regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark your map, grab your face mask, and get ready to check some of these top dog-friendly spots off your list. There’s nothing like exploring the United States of America with your four-legged best friend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
