Don't limit yourself to dog parks in your neighborhood. Use Dog Park USA to find dog-friendly hotels around the country and take a vacation with your dog!

Keep in mind that "dog-friendly" doesn't mean "off-leash". Your pooch will still need to run around at a local dog park for exercise. The Airline Transportation Association estimates that more than 500,000 animals travel by plane each year, which means that far more travel by car. Since dogs are the most common pet to take on a vacation, bringing Dog Park Finder on the road is a great option. Instead of pulling in at a truck stop on your road trip, use Dog Park Finder to get directions to the closest dog park and let your dog stretch her legs too.

Whether you're on a road trip across the country, a weekend drive, or a stroll through your neighborhood, your dog needs to run off-leash. Let Dog Park Finder and Dog Park USA help you find the best dog park near you…wherever you are!
