For years, Texas has promoted itself as the “land of contrasts.” Rolling hills, rugged deserts, verdant forests, and sandy beaches are all found within its borders—and all await exploration by you and your dog.
Regardless of the kind of getaway or Texas day trip you and your four-legged travel companion are seeking, you’ll find it in the Lone State. From sun, sand, and surf to big city fun to western adventure, destinations across Texas welcome dogs with open paws.
There’s no way we’d rather travel our home state than to see Texas with dogs. And can attest to the fact that the Friendship State is even friendlier when meeting fellow pet parents.
