North Coast
Our pups have discerning tastes: good sleeps, good eats and plenty of play. Just north of San Francisco, the "North of Ordinary" counties of California – Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte – offer plenty of fun for both you and fido on the North Coast in Northern California.
Here you'll find California's favorite whales, wineries and woof walks. Relaxation is the name of the game, and your dog is welcome almost anywhere.
