At the end of any air travel with your pets is a destination and where you go can make or break your entire trip experience. There are many pet friendly cities around the world and these are some of the best. We define pet friendly cities as those with great hotels that cater to all sizes and manner of dog and cat, a large number of restaurants that allow dogs, and those with large green parks for walking. Many of these pet friendly international cities also have wonderful off-leash parks and have local communities that are very inviting to pets outdoors and in stores and shops as well.
Rome
Pets, especially small dogs, are welcome most everywhere in Rome. You can even bring your pet along free of charge on the city’s public transportation system. Larger dogs will need a ticket but the option is there. You’ll see many people walking around with their little dogs peeking out of backpacks and carriers all around town.
Paris
The city of Paris is famous for it’s dogs, especially the poodle, and a large number of Parisians are pet owners. The restaurants, stores, and plenty of hotel booking Paris all cater to this clientele and you can bring your dog to malls and even the bank! The only requirement is that your dog be well behaved and you clean up after them – a rule not strongly enforced however.
Toronto
A great pet friendly city, Toronto offers free emergency pet and veterinary services and has several large off leash dog parks. There are also a number of restaurants and hotels in the heart of downtown that will let you and your dog enjoy together.
Hamburg
The wide sideways and disciplined dogs of Germany have many this city and the entire country very dog friendly. Most of the hotels allow you to bring pets with you as well as restaurants and malls as well. Just don’t think about bringing your dog to church or inside any of the museums but otherwise you’ve got a great selection.
Amsterdam
This Dutch city, one of the top vacation spots in Europe, has some of the most liberal pet policies in the world making it very easy to travel with your furry friend. So long as you’ve got your dog on a leash, there aren’t too many places you can go without your pooch. On top of that you’ll find clean up bags at many parks and dog treats at many of the cafes along Amsterdam’s famous canals.
Vancouver
Another Canadian city to add to the list, it’s surrounded by some of the most beautiful hiking terrain and parks around. The city is a great place to visit if you and your dog are the active type. After a few days out enjoying the wilderness you can head back into town and stay at some of the most pet accommodating hotels in the world.
As more and more people travel with their pets, the realm of pet friendly cities is expanding all over the world to include more of South America, Australia, and parts of Central America (i.e. Costa Rica) as well.
