MIAMI BEACH: ONE OF THE MOST PET-FRIENDLY CITIES IN THE WORLD

Visitors and tourists repeatedly visit Miami Beach not only for the
city’s warm weather but because the destination embraces them with
hotels, restaurants, retailers and entertainment venues rolling out the
red carpet, always ready to accommodate and please; satisfy and delight.
That same enthusiasm also extends to pets. Pets are treated
exceptionally well with everyone from hotels to tour operators ensuring
that they are comfortable, pampered and indulged. From the Loews’ Very
Important Pet (VIP) program to Bark Beach at North Shore Open Space
Park, Miami Beach is heaven for four-legged family members.

“Many people don’t know this, but Miami Beach is a very pet-friendly
city,” says Peggy Benua, Chair, Miami Beach Visitor and Convention
Authority (MBVCA). “Businesses here are very accommodating of pets, with
four-legged animals allowed to accompany their adult companions into
retailers, some restaurants and other locations and a generous number of
dog parks where they can roam freely. Miami Beach loves animals.”

According to the Pet Travel Center, 39% of U.S. households (or 40.6
million) own at least one dog; dogs are the most common type of pet to
take along (78%) on a trip; 14% of all adults in the U.S. (29.1 million)
said they had traveled with a pet on a trip of 50 miles or more in the
past three years and 29% of travelers stay in a hotel or motel with
their pet.

Grisette Roque, Executive Director of the MBVCA says Miami Beach’s
outdoor culture is a natural fit for pets and their owners. “With
sun-soaked days most of the year, Miami Beach’s outdoor café and
physically active culture is a great fit for travelers with pets. Our
significant number of dog parks, hotels with special pet programs and
laws that were created to protect and include pets make this city an
extraordinary fit for tourists who want to travel and not leave their
pets at home.”

For those traveling to Miami Beach with their pets, below are just some
of the places where pets are not only accommodated but catered to:
