Greater Palm Springs has always been one of the most dog-friendly destinations on the planet. They recently celebrated National Dog Day. We agree with them that National Dog Day should be every day because for so many of us, our tail wagging companions are our BFFF (Best Furry Friend Forever)!

If your vision of a California desert vacation includes blue sky, purple mountains, turquoise pools, nodding palm trees and dog-friendly things to do and places to see, you’ve come to the right place. Greater Palm Springs caters to everyone from Hollywood celebrities, snowbirds, avowed desert rats and all demographics that include a lot of DogTrekkers.
