Dog-friendly Oakland
If what you’re after is a hip, urban vibe with lots of canine-accommodating amenities, Oakland is the place!
Dog-loving residents of Oakland have it all: tons of bars and restaurants with dog-friendly outdoor seating; an overall welcoming attitude toward canines; fenced and unfenced off-leash play areas; and a wealth of open-space trails, many of which don’t require leashes away from developed areas.
For those coming in from out of town, Oakland has more than a dozen pet-friendly hotels, resorts, and inns to put your feet and your pup’s paws to rest after a long day of exploring. Opening soon is the AC Hotel Oakland Downtown, meanwhile, you can also enjoy the historic charm of the Claremont Club & Spa by Fairmont, situated on 22 acres with breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay.
