Best Places to Travel With Your Dog
Newsweek Europe|July 14 - 21, 2023
Dog owners are nothing if not loyal to their furred companions. So it makes sense that their ideal travel destinations are ones that welcome dogs. With their book, FIFTY PLACES TO TRAVEL WITH YOUR DOG BEFORE YOU DIE, Chris Santella and DC Helmuth set out to provide a road map and inspirational guide for those who would take Fido along wherever they go. Helmuth and Santella came up with their list by interviewing experts in the canine community, and each place is presented as the recommendation of one of these experts. From their book, here's a selection of top venues to travel around the globe with your dog. Happy Trails!
Best Places to Travel With Your Dog

01 Dog-Directed Sports

ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 

"Culturally in Alaska, there's an acceptance that if you're going to do something, you're more likely than not to bring your dog," explains dog-supply store owner Mark Robokoff. "Whether you're going four-wheeling, snow machining, fishing or hunting, the dog is coming." Why? It has to do with the official state sport - dog mushing, which some may know as dog sledding. Variants now include skijoring in the winter and bikejoring and canicross in the summer.

02 Outdoor Adventures 

BEND, OREGON

"Bend is a great place to visit, or live, with your dog," Dani Reese, the community manager of an outdoor performance dog gear company, says. "Most of the businesses are dog-friendly, and so are the breweries." She continues, "In the summer, I like to take my dog out on a stand-up paddleboard" on the Deschutes River.

03 National Park Adventure 

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK

All drive-in, non-group campgrounds in Yosemite National Park welcome dogs on leash and a network of paved paths weave through the park's famous valley, allowing you to see nearly all the most iconic viewpoints with your dog by your side. Generally speaking, if the path is paved, you can take your pup. "Our favorite hike was probably Tenaya Lake," reflected Kate Sumser, an aspiring public defender who's traveled far and wide with her dog Luna. "There were other dogs playing in the water there...I think that is one of my favorite places on the planet."

04 Nature Lovers
