a very doggie holiday

Tis the season to be a dog… well, that is year round… but this holiday season, below are some fun activities and dog friendly places to enjoy with your number one best friend.

Have a dog Christmas Eve or Chanukah party! Invite all your friends and their dogs over. While you and your friends enjoy fresh-baked holiday treats and cookies, egg nog and/or hot chocolate, your dog and her furry friends can munch on peanut butter dog biscuits. Do a Secret Santa Paw Pal type gift exchange… ask friends to bring a dog toy for their favorite paw pal.

Take your dog to visit Santa! S/he may have been naughty or nice and have her own wish list. Plus, she’ll enjoy the fun of meeting Santa and you’ll get a photo of your pooch on Santa’s lap to cherish and send to loved ones!

Listen to holiday music, sing songs, go Christmas carolling with your dog and give out dog treats and cookies to your neighbors.

Kosher dog cookies?

  • Nothing’s more iconic than spending Christmas in New York. The Affinia Manhattan and Skyline Hotel New York are both dog-friendly and a short walk away from New York’s most pawpular attractions. To take in the holiday cheer, walk your dog to Rockefeller Center and view the enormous Christmas tree that’s on display each December.
  • Transportation for you and your pooch is easy in the Big Apple. Just hail one of the city’s k-9 cabs.
  • Those visiting the Big Apple can also take their dogs for a winter stroll in Central Park, grab a bite to eat at these dog-friendly restaurants or quench your thirst at one of these bars or coffee shops where wet noses are welcome.

doggone vermont

cici and I would enjoy visiting Ben & Jerry’s in Burlington, Vermont some time. They allow dogs in the work place and are nice to cows and other animals. Our kind of place. There are certainly a few places in Vermont to visit that are pet friendly. Stowe and Burlington are supposed to be the top pet friendly cities in Vermont.

Here are a bunch of pet friendly venues… unrated since we have not visited there yet.

Below is one resort that allows dogs in Stowe but we think that the pet fee is exorbitant, $50 a day per dog.  Another example of a place that says that they are pet friendly but are they ? What is the rationalization here?  Bring your dog but you are going to have to pay pay pay??? Does not seem very pet friendly to us. Just saying…

Sleeping Dog

Stowe Mountain Lodge… pet policy is as follows: $50 per day per stay. The dog must be under 100 pounds and the cannot be left unattended (the Alpine Concierge can assist in arranging a dog sitter if needed).  Pets are not allowed in the restaurant or the bar.  Waiver must be signed upon check-in.

Dogs receive:

  • A plush dog bed
  • Vermont-inspired food and waterbowl
  • A paw print mint ball toy to play with and freshen their breath
  • A bag of assorted all natural flavor treats wrapped in a paw print bag
  • A lavendar fresh spritz spray to freshen up after a hard afternoon of playing

Here’s an inn that charges $20 pet fee, much more reasonable although some of the requirements for pets seem somewhat strict.

there is a doggie chapel… yippeee…

Stephen Huneck’s Dog Chapel in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, will be an answer to your dogs prayers when she discovers the nature trails, swimming ponds and other delights of the 400 scenic acres that surround the chapel on Dog Mountain.
