Web resource for pet owners GoPetFriendly.com has released their list of the top pet-friendly attraction in each of the lower 48 U.S. states and D.C., along with their “Ultimate Pet Friendly Road Trip.”

Founders of GoPetFriendly.com, Amy and Rod Burkert, have been traveling full-time for more than seven years with their two dogs, Ty and Buster. In addition to sharing their adventures and pet travel tips on the Take Paws blog, they gather information for the website’s database of pet-friendly hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, beaches, dog parks, and more. But this year, the couple is on a mission to share the wide variety of pet-friendly attractions that are available to people traveling with their pets.

“It’s been exciting to build our list of the Top Pet Friendly Attractions in the U.S., and visiting all of them with Ty and Buster on this 10-month tour is a dream come true,” states Amy Burkert. GoPetFriendly.com’s selection for the Top Pet Friendly Attractions in each state was based on how well it represents the spirit of that state and contributed to the overall diversity of pet-friendly adventures to be had all across the country.

“Many people think that traveling with their pets means they’ll be limited to dog parks and takeout food. Sharing our experiences helps people see that the options are endless – from beaches to mountain tops, canoe trips to train rides, bustling cities to quiet retreats – pet lovers worldwide are fastening their seatbelts and traveling vicariously with us through the blog, on social media, and at our meet-up events along the way.”GoPetFriendly.com’ List of Top
