1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good travel with your dog guide, June 26, 2006

By	Just in nyc - See all my reviews

This review is from: DogFriendly.com's United States And Canada Dog Travel Guide (Paperback)

Having bought this guide book based upon the use of the dogfriendly.com website (which is a useful tool) - instead of buying the updated AAA guide for dogs - this book has mainly listings of chain hotels -for example Motel 6 and Red Roof Inns - it doesn't have anything much on national parks, camping or state parks - nor does it list dog accepting Bed and breakfasts (if you are solely going on highways this guide is okay - but if you venture off like I do - this guide is not handy) - in my opinion the AAA guide is the better one to buy - it still lacks certain things but this guide needs a much better edit before I would ever buy it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Saved My Butt, July 4, 2007

By	Paul V "Paul V." (Hanksville) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DogFriendly.com's United States And Canada Dog Travel Guide (Paperback)

It was so great to be able to reach over, knowing I'd be running out of steam in X amount of hours, figure where I'd be then, and find a motel in this book, call ahead and book.

It actually does have B&B's and some park info, so I'm not sure what the other reviewer was referring to. I am recommending it to many other dog-owning friends of mine. Just put in 10,000 miles and it really was a lifesaver.
