Carmel Welcomes Man's Best Friend

Carmel California is an ideal vacation spot for
anyone who loves beautiful beaches and scenic
forests and valleys. Outdoor activities abound
across the valleys and forests so that visitors
are always kept busy. The greatest part about
all this fun in Carmel is that it all takes
place in the city recognized as the most dog
friendly in the U.S. Whether it's activities on
the beach or shopping at the plaza, dogs are
welcome and treated with care.

A very large portion of Carmel's population is
known to have dogs, so the city has become very
accommodating. Hotels, shops, and restaurants
have even dedicated some establishments to the
care of dogs. When in Carmel no dog is left
unhappy or forgotten.

Places to Stay

When going to Carmel, the activity of locating a
dog-friendly accommodation is virtually
effortless. You will find more than twenty five
accommodations and inns that welcome pleasant
pet dogs as well as their owners as guests.
Probably the most notable could well be Cypress
Inn, owned by the highly-regarded celebrity
Doris Day. There, dogs are generally allowed
just about everywhere in the lodge, including on
the patio, at the bar, and within the lobby by
the fireplace. Its friendliness to dogs is
evident with the Doggie Cocktail Hour provided
daily at the bar. Other notable locations that
permit pet dogs include Carmel Country Inn and
Tradewinds Carmel.

Places to Eat

With more than 100 restaurants in lovely Carmel,
numerous have outside dining spots which also
allow and accommodate for dogs. The welcoming
ambiance as well as cottage design of PortaBella
genuinely grants hospitality to dogs and provides
them each with a special surprise. At Grasing's,
pet dogs and their keepers experience fine
dining outside on the veranda together with some
local natural cuisine. Probably the most widely
familiar dog-friendly restaurant in Carmel is
Forge in the Forest. Upon entrance dogs have a
separate menu from which they are able to
delight in anything from the standard crunchy
kibble to the six-ounce cooked New York steak.

Places to Visit

Apart from wandering around town and alongside a
seaside trail, dogs might want to have some more
fun on vacation. The high status of dogs and
their masters in Carmel has given them the
opportunity to go out on Carmel Beach without a
leash. So long as dogs are inside range of voice
control from their owners, they can run totally
free and roll in the sand or frolic in the
water. Dogs are also allowed at Mission Trail
Nature Preserve and Garland Ranch Regional Park
for some hiking among stunning nature. These
offer great vistas of native wildflowers,
redwood trees, canyons, and woodlands, amongst
other picturesque vistas such as Monterey Bay
and Point Lobos. These are fit for leisurely
walks or strenuous physical exercise. Garland
Ranch requires dogs to be on leashes while
wandering the park.

Dogs will not be excluded if you're considering
shopping in Carmel. The trendy Carmel Plaza is a
hospitable area for pet dogs and their masters
alike with quite a few shops of various kinds
permitting dogs to enter, and some have "on the
house" puppy treats set outside their entrances.
The most dog-friendly location within the United
States would not be complete without having a
few shops exclusively for the dogs. A
pleasurable stop for dogs involves Diggidy Dog,
a shop just for them. This shop has numerous
goodies for your traveling dog such as shampoo
as well as skincare products, car seats,
carrying bags, strollers, beds, plush and fetch
toys, jackets, t-shirts, elevated feeders, as
well as pup stairs for the pup or smaller sized
dog.

While exploring Carmel Plaza the local appeal
for dogs will be the Fountain of Woof, where
dogs may stop and satisfy their thirst. After a
long day of shopping around town on the beach,
dog owners can treat their four-legged friends
to a spa treatment at Signature Paw Spa where
options consist of massage, grooming, and other
services, or they might be dropped there for the
day and nite while masters get some alone time.
With no kennels and plenty of lounge time pets
enjoy their leisure time, comfort and all around
happiness.

Man's best friend deserves a vacation too, so
the only possible answer to where would be
Carmel. With its many dog friendly
establishments, Carmel is heaven for dogs. It is
a dreamlike vacation for their owners too, with
white sand beaches, beautiful pine forests, and
lush green valleys. The thing that makes a
vacation in Carmel most exciting is the openly
welcomed addition of the family dog. Carmel in
no way holds dogs to a lower status than people,
and that is why dog lovers enjoy the small town
so much. With so many activities awaiting dogs
and their owners there, it would be a shame to
pass it up. Bringing the family dog along to
Carmel is the only humane thing to do.
