Savannah, Georgia, is pretty close to perfect. It has a long, rich history. Established in 1733, Savannah was spared during the Civil War because of its beauty, and it’s still breathtaking today. Not only is it beautiful, the town lands consistently on the Condé Nast Traveler list, not just as one of the U.S.’s friendliest cities, but as one of the “world’s friendliest cities.” That’s a pretty great recommendation.
We would add that Savannah isn’t only friendly to its two-legged visitors. Savannah is a great place to visit with your four-legged friends, too! That’s important because when you want to get away for vacation, you want to bring all of the members of the family. It can be hard to relax and enjoy a vacation when you’re worried about having to leave a member of the family behind. Savannah should be at the top of your list of pet-friendly places to visit. What makes Savannah such a friendly city for its furry visitors? Here are a few top choices:
Places to eat
When you get hungry when you have your fur baby along, you don’t have to worry in Savannah. You’ll find plenty of great places to eat that welcome pets. Almost all of the restaurants in the area that have outdoor or patio seating areas will welcome your pets, and they’ll even make sure your pet has plenty of water. City Market is a four-block area with restaurants and cafes in addition to shopping and art, so you and your pooch can take your time as you stroll. It’s worth noting that some restaurants in the city have menus just for the four-legged clientele, so be sure to ask. Leopolds’ Ice Cream has sundaes for your dog. If you’re looking for something just for your pet, then be sure to stop by Woof Gang Bakery®. If you just need something to quench your thirst, stop by Service Brewing Co. Your pet can join you at one of the tables on the outdoor patio.
Places to stay
Many hotels in the Savannah area welcome pets. You will want to check with your hotel as most require a pet deposit and many limit pets allowed to two, usually under 80 pounds each. One hotel stands out. It is the Thunderbird Inn. It’s tagged as “The Hippest Hotel in Savannah,” and the Inn says it’s “where all the hip pets stay.” Maybe this is because, with an enclosed dog run and dog treats in the pet-friendly rooms, pets are sure to love it!
Places to play
There is so much for you and your furry friend to do in Savannah that it is hard to know where to begin. With parks, historic sites, national monuments, beaches, the river and shopping, you won’t be bored! Skidaway Island State Park has miles of trails for you both to stroll. If you’re looking for something especially for your dog, then you won’t want to skip Oliver Bentleys Historic Dog Walk Tour. If you want to cool off in the waves at the beach, you won’t have to go too far to find dog-friendly beaches.
