Publication Date: April 2004

DogFriendly.com's dog travel guides have helped over 1 million dog lovers plan the perfect getaway. This unique comprehensive guide focuses on places that allow ALL well-behaved dogs, regardless of size or breed. The guide will assist you in finding over 2,500 California and Nevada dog-friendly accommodations, campgrounds, RV parks, attractions, beaches, hikes, parks, outdoor restaurants, upscale retail stores and emergency vets. Includes descriptions, pet policies and some photos. And only lodging that allows dogs in your choice of a non-smoking or smoking room are included, therefore not restricting dogs to smoking rooms. For water-loving dogs the book also has a California Coastal Beach Guide which mentions both on leash and off leash beaches. Highway Guides are in this book to help dog lovers find pet-friendly lodging on the road.

As a bonus, in addition to the 2,500 California and Nevada places, this newest edition includes Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Arizona hotels and motels, Highway Guides and Coastal Beach Guides. Plus City Guides (lodging, attractions, outdoor restaurants, parks and beaches) for Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria, Phoenix, Tucson, the Grand Canyon and Tombstone.

MORE BOOK DETAILS:

- Lodging: From motels and cabin rentals to hotels and upscale resorts, you will find great dog-friendly places to stay near the beach, in the mountains, downtown, along the highway and everywhere in between where dogs of all sizes are welcome. Includes details about pet policies like pet fees, rules, etc. We only mention places that allow dog travelers their choice of a non-smoking or smoking room, and not those restricting pets to "smoking rooms only."

- Campgrounds and RV Parks: Stay at campgrounds that offer dog-friendly trails nearby or within walking distance. Included are RV parks for the not-so-ruffin'-it getaway.

- Attractions: Enhance your travel experience by taking a dog-friendly boat or carriage ride, visiting a museum, walking through a historical area or shopping in a retail store.

- Parks, Hikes and Beaches: Walk along scenic beaches or hike through beautiful forests with your pal. Hiking trails, dog beaches, dog parks and Beach Guides are included. We also note the dog regulations for parks and beaches, such as whether or not dogs need to be leashed.

- Outdoor Restaurants: Dine outdoors with your best friend by your side (not on the other side of a fence), at a dog-friendly American, Mexican, Italian, French, Chinese, Japanese, Barbecue or Vegetarian restaurant.

- Highway Guides: Over 10 California and Nevada Highway Guides are included so you can find dog-friendly lodging on the road.

- Nearby States: In addition to the over 2,500 California and Nevada dog-friendly places, this book also has dog-friendly motels, hotels, Beach Guides and Highway Guides for Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Arizona. Includes City Guides (with dog-friendly lodging, attractions, outdoor restaurants and parks) for Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria, Phoenix, Tucson, the Grand Canyon and Tombstone.

NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE

How are we different from other pet travel guides? In addition to the thousands of pet-friendly places in our book, we focus on places that allow well-behaved dogs of ALL sizes. We don't think well-behaved dogs should be discriminated against just because they are large. We also focus on lodging that allows dog lovers the choice of a non-smoking or smoking room, thereby not restricting pet travelers to "smoking rooms only." Another difference is that we find not just pet-friendly lodging but also what you can do once at your destination spot. In our books you'll find dog-friendly attractions, outdoor restaurants, parks, beaches and stores. And for an easier time on your road trip, we offer Highway Guides with pet-friendly lodging listed by highway or Interstate number. For water loving hounds, our books include Coastal Beach Guides. Compare us to other pet travel books and we think you'll notice the difference!

There is more content for California than Nevada. Which is ok, but the content for NV doesn't extend much beyond hotels. I can get that info on line.
