4 Paws Up...Travel With Your Buddy Made Easy

A friend of mine, was recently telling me how, he just likes to pick up and get away for a few days, but as much as he loves his dog, just didn't want to take the time to search out lodgings that were pet friendly. I then remembered this book, that was a big help to me, "On the Road Again With Man's Best Friend(West Coast edition) by Dawn and Robert Habgood. It is like a dog owner's bible for traveling with your favorite friend. The book is well researched and has an excellent and plentiful selection of lodgings that will welcome you and your dog. There are tips for the traveling dog, reservations services for Bed and Breakfasts, phone numbers for the various inns, rates(and if there are any extra fees for your pet), addresses, and a good summary of the accommodations and things to do and see in the area. You will also find a key to abbreviations, and other helpful hints. This West Coast and British Columbia Edition covers the area from San Diego on up. There is also an edition that covers the West Coast just up to Seattle as well. It is sectioned by state(Calif, Oregon, Washington), with a map of the areas, pinpointing the lodging. There are also lists and phone numbers for many other places to call, that did not get a write up. There are other editions of this book, you may want to check out for other areas. East Coast, New England, British Columbia, Southwest, Southeast, North West and North America. This edition is nearly 10 years old, so I imagine that some of the prices and policies may have changed, and it is probably a good idea to call ahead of time to check these things out. Looks like there are some great deals on some used editions by the outside sellers. The book is a great time saver,worth every penny for those of us that can't bear to leave our babies at home, and may keep poor old Rover from winding up in a kennel. 4 paws up for this great book....Laurie

Great Accommodations all along the West Coast

I've used the West Coast version of On the Road Again with Man's Best Friend for many years and have found many gems all along the West Coast. We've stayed with our dogs on house boats in Washington and British Columbia, a dude ranch in southern Washington, and in many of the neat waterside accommodations along the Oregon coast. We not only rely on the Habgoods' excellent descriptions, but also on their extensive appendix where there are hundreds of other dog-friendly places to stay that cover the entire West Coast. We live in the Seattle area and have yet to use it for our adventures in California, but look forward to doing so soon!

Excellent book for man's best friend's friends

We've found the Habgood's "On the Road Again..." books invaluable on our travels with our wonderful Golden Retriever, Murphy. Each location is given a complete review with tips about sights of interest nearby. We have stayed in many quaint B & B's, up-scale hotel/spas, beachside resorts, and charming inns, all found through these books. Murphy has enjoyed all of our visits and gives the Habgood's books a "tails up".

Great book that covers large area

This is a wonderful resource. I used it to find a B & B in Seattle for $45/night when the cheapest dog-accepting Motel 6 was $70 (*without* breakfast). I wish there were more entries, but it would be a much larger book! :) For California specifically, I would go with "The California Dog Lover's Companion" by Maria Goodavage; it has info on places to visit as well as places to stay. But for B & B's and hotels specifically, "On The Road Again With Man's Best Friend-West Coast Edition" is an excellent one to have. I would not hesitate to recommend it for your Dogs & Traveling bookshelf.
