They say that every dog has its day, and that sentiment certainly rings true on August 26, National Dog Day<\/a>. According to the 2017-2018 APPA National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association, 89.7 million dogs call 60.2 million U.S. households home. What\u2019s more, the survey shows that 37% of dog owners take their furry friends with them in the car when traveling for at least two nights; 1% fly with their pups. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Find inspiration for your next pup-in-tow trip with these 10 fun dog-friendly experiences.<\/p>\n

1. Relax together at a dog-friendly resort<\/h2>\n

New on Florida\u2019s dog-friendly resort scene is Zota Beach Resort<\/a> on Longboat Key, near Sarasota. When you and your pal with paws check in, he\u2019ll be treated to a luxury bed, treats, toys, and a gourmet pet room service menu of goodies he can enjoy en suite. Dog walkers and sitters are at-the-ready, too, should his parents decide to go hit the town for a night.<\/p>\n

2. Enjoy a nice dinner out<\/h2>\n

As the name implies, Ciao Hound<\/a> (at Postcard Inn Beach Resort & Marina<\/a>) in Islamorada (Florida Keys) welcomes people but prefers dogs in its Ciao Pound, an outdoor space complete with toys, water bowls and dog beds for lounging. While owners dine on classic Italian comfort food, hounds (and other types of dogs!) can chow on the Half-Hounder Burger and lap up the restaurant\u2019s Bowser Beer, a non-alcoholic puppy brew.<\/p>\n

3. Get a cross-species workout session in<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re ready to hit the gym, you and your pup can get quite the workout together at Frolick Dogs<\/a> in Alexandria, Virginia<\/a>. The 4,800-square-foot year-round doggy gym includes an agility ring and fun obstacles, as well as a sun-lit mezzanine for a refreshing bowl of water. Afterwards, take your four-legged friend on a Canine Cruise with Potomac Riverboat Company<\/a>: Your pup rides for free on this 45-minute tour of the local seaport, wind blowing through his fur.<\/p>\n

4. Challenge your pet to some tennis<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s serve, fetch, love when you and your canine companion hit the courts and perfect your game of fetch at Topnotch Resort<\/a> in Stowe, Vermont. While you take a private tennis lesson with the resort\u2019s pros, your pup serves as the perfect ball boy or girl, fetching those wayward tennis balls.<\/p>\n

5. Take on the great outdoors together<\/h2>\n

For pups who hike\u2014and their people\u2014the Hotel Boulderado<\/a> will load its four- and two-legged guests into its customized Rolls Royce and chauffeur them from the historic hotel to nearby hiking trails. Upon pick-up post-hike, the driver will have dog treats, water and towels for freshening up en route back to the hotel. More outdoor adventure is found on the summertime slopes of Lake Tahoe, where dogs take center stage at the Annual Peaks and Paws Festival at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows. Over two days of fun, people can join their pups on on a dog-friendly hike up the mountain to a hidden, dog-approved swimming hole, and make a splash in the Splash Dogs Dock Jumping Competition. Afterwards, you can both relax and recover in one of the dog-friendly rooms within walking distance at The Village at Squaw Valley<\/a>. All proceeds from the festival benefit the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why not join in the festive fun with a glass of Merlot Over and Play Dead or Chateau d\u2019Og Cabernet Sauvignon for you and a bowl of bacon-, chicken-, or beef-infused water for your pup?

7. Hang ten at a doggy surf competition<\/h2>\n

Your pup can hang 10, or rather 20, when the Surf Dog Surf-a-Thon<\/a> hits Dog Beach in Del Mar, California<\/a> (just north of San Diego) on September 10. Whether she wants to try her, um, paws at surfing, or watch from a blanket on the beach, everyone\u2019s welcome. What\u2019s more, all of the proceeds from this fun in the sun event benefit the animals and programs at the Helen Woodward Animal Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8. Plan a luxe dog-focused beach getaway<\/h2>\n

Speaking of beaches in Southern California, Dog Beach is less than a mile\u2014or just a few frisbee throws\u2014from super-dog-friendly Hotel del Coronado<\/a>, on Coronado Island outside of downtown San Diego. And when you\u2019re ready to hit the pool or the beach at Las Ventanas al Para\u00edso<\/a> in Los Cabos, Mexico, a portable Pet Cabana is available to keep your pup\u2019s paws in the shade. While chillin\u2019, she can enjoy a poolside spa treatment while you order from the resort\u2019s Canine Delights menu filled with special chef-prepared and made-to-order dishes.<\/p>\n

9. Rejuvenate with a canine-human spa day<\/h2>\n

All of this fun can certainly be exhausting, so it\u2019s a good thing that your pup can join you for spa services and some rest (or ruff) and relaxation! The certified canine massage therapists at Spa Oceana at The Don CeSar<\/a> on Florida\u2019s St. Pete Beach are ready to pamper your four-legged, furry friend with an in-room, hour-long treatment. Across the country, Hotel deLuxe<\/a> in Portland, Oregon, offers Pet Acupuncture as part of its pampered pet resources.<\/p>\n

10. Stay with adoptable dogs at an East Coast inn<\/h2>\n

The Inn by the Sea<\/a> in Cape Elizabeth, Maine (outside of Portland), takes its dog-friendliness a bit further by partnering with the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland<\/a>. Through its adoption program, the inn offers a temporary home to one shelter or foster dog at a time. The inn\u2019s staff care for and love on the dogs, and guests are invited to get in on the fun\u2014and even adopt the pups looking for their forever homes. Since the program\u2019s inception two years ago, 96 dogs have been adopted through this dog-tastic partnership!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
