Pet-Friendly Getaways- Are Not Just For Summer

TC Collection

It’s Terrie Carr and you know I’m all about the “Pet Friendly” experience with my dog Rosie Carr.

Pet-friendly outings are not only fun for our pups but for us. I love getting out with Rosie after a long work week, and it’s really good socialization, bonding, and a great way to meet some new faces.

Pet-friendly outings are usually considered most popular in warm weather situations, but our best buds get cabin fever just like we do so a day trip vacation or staycation can be amazing not only for us but for our dogs as well.

 I don’t know about you, but for me, winter can be tough. I’m always looking for something fun to do, so I don’t hibernate until April! Bringing Rosie along is a HUGE plus. She’s my favorite “person” to hang with. 

My List Of 6 Locations 

I decided to put together a list of “options” for dog lovers and their canine companions. All basically within a two-hour commute for New Jersey dog owners. (All but one in New Jersey too) Planning a trip to North Jersey and want a beer? We have you covered. Need a weekend getaway and want to bring your dog? No problem OR just want a simple “Jersey Mall Experience”? Done.

• 1. Need To Shop? Hit the Mall!

  There are many NJ Malls that allow our dogs to shop freely with us. Jersey Shore Premium Outlets and The Mall at Short Hills have great policies for our pups to hang and shop with us. The Mall At Short Hills even has strollers for rent for dogs 20 pounds and under. I have used them personally when I had my paralyzed dog Star, who loved strolling through the mall and seeing the sights.
