San Francisco Bay Area
The 9-county San Francisco Bay Area just may be the most dog-friendly region in the world. From the coastal counties of San Francisco, Marin,
Sonoma and San Mateo where you'll find beautiful beaches to the hip, urban vibe with lots of canine-accommodating amenities in Oakland and the
East Bay, this is the place!
The Bay Area is also your gateway to the beautiful wine country featuring
Sonoma County,
Napa Valley, and the
Livermore Valley, where everyone, two-legged and four, is welcome.
