Dog-Friendly Road Trips: Top Summer Destinations for You & Your Pup

Are you ready for your next road trip or summer vacation? I have to say whenever I’m headed towards the door, my pup is right on my heels. She hates being left behind, but this summer your pets won’t have to be. There are so many great places that you can take your pet. This may require a little research on your part, but nothing will be better than the whole family spending time together and creating some lasting memories. Don’t be afraid or nervous about the budget because we have some great ideas for destinations that won’t cost you very much.

Beaches: A trip to the beach can be budget friendly and fun for your little ones and furry family members. Typically, a beach day doesn’t require much money, and you can pack a picnic lunch to save even more. The earlier you arrive the better options will be available for parking which will save you some cash as well. Be sure to research ahead of time as some beaches may have leash regulations. You’ll also want to be mindful of the time of day you visit the beach, as you may need to be aware of the currents and waves. Taking a trip earlier or later in the day may help avoid large crowds.

National or State Parks: A hike or visit at a State or National Park is a great getaway for the family and your pets especially if your pets are at home all day and don’t get out often to stretch their legs or get much fresh air. These parks typically don’t cost much for admission and there are many discounts that you may be able to find specifically for military families. To find a National Park near you or find out more about discounted passes be sure to visit the National Park Service website.
