Pet Friendly Hotels Arizona

Arizona is located in the southwestern part of the United States. Parts of Arizona were inhabited as early at 500 AD by the Sinagua Indians while the Hopi's, Apaches, and Navajo tribes roamed freely over Northern Arizona. These prehistoric people built extensive cavitation's complete with cliff dwelling, architectural puelos and ball courts. One of the many reasons for you and your pet to explore Arizona.

Pet friendly Arizona is well known for cactus, rugged mountains, desert dry climate, hot summers, and mild winters, but the high country in the north features pine forests and mountain ranges with cooler weather than the lower deserts. The magnificent and inarguably beautiful, Grand Canyon is easily Arizona’s most distinguishable landmark. Stretching 277 miles from end to end, steep, rocky walls descend more than a mile to the canyon's floor, where the wild Colorado River traces a swift course southwest. Well behaved pets on a leash are welcome in the national park, but not at the base of the canyon.

Whether your getaway includes an indulgent stay at a world-class spa, or a thrilling adventure in a truly magnificent and exotic land that keeps you wanting more, the Grand Canyon State has something for everyone.

Arizona, the 6th largest and the last contiguous state to be admitted to the Union, is one of the "four corner" states bordered by New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and California, as well as sharing a 389 mile border with Mexico. Located in the southwestern area of the U.S., it is best known for its broad desert landscapes, cactus, hot summers and mild winters but less known for its pine covered high country in the north-central part of the state. This pet friendly state even boasts its own license plate, displaying a dog and cat saying "Pets enrich our lives", available as a specialty plate.

Talk about pet friendly, Phoenix, the capital, and Tuscon, the second largest city, combined, have over 100 pet friendly hotels and accommodations, 14 pet friendly campgrounds and 11 dog parks. In fact, near Tuscon, in Amado, there is even a 50's style diner for dogs called Dog Chef's American Kitchen serving up all natural foods for your furry friend. After chowing down, Rover can romp in a acre fenced in dog park, just to burn off a few calories. Gilbert, Arizona even hosts an annual Barktoberfest, where dogs party in the park.
