Why SoCal Is Perfect For Pet-Friendly Vacations
Each year, millions of Americans plan pet-friendly getaways: it’s a great way to make happy memories and enrich the life of your furry family member. But, since you can’t leave pets in your hotel unattended, they’ll go everywhere you go while you’re on vacation. Fortunately, planning a getaway in the right location—like the southern California coast—can make logistics with your companion much easier, as you’ll have your choice of pet-friendly hotels, restaurants, and more.
Here’s why cities along the SoCal coast make ideal pet-friendly vacation destinations:
Warm, comfortable weather. The Southern California coast enjoys a fairly mild climate all year long. Even if it’s the dead of winter, temperatures typically hover in the upper 60s to low 70s, making it much easier to enjoy coastal playgrounds with your four-legged family member.
Year-round outdoor seating options. The temperate climate means that, unlike eateries in cold or definitively four-season regions, many SoCal restaurants will have permanent outdoor seating available whenever you visit. Instead of being limited to a few sparse eateries, you’ll be able to choose from a wide variety of cuisines, views, and dining styles at local pet-friendly restaurants. It won’t be difficult to find pooch-friendly patios for every palate.
Easy access to ideal dog-walking environments. Pet-friendly lodgings tend to be conveniently located near dog beaches, parks, trails, and pedestrian spaces, making play and exercise that much more convenient. Consider requesting a room on the first floor so you’ll have fewer steps between your room and pet relief areas.
Pet care amenities. No luxury getaway would be complete without ways to pamper your feline or canine companion. SoCal destination cities offer top-notch spots for grooming, pet-sitting, gourmet meals, treats, and veterinary services. If you’re new in town and don’t want the hassle of researching these, ask your hotel concierge for recommendations. They can help you find all the most reputable services for their four-legged guests within easy reach of where you’re staying.
