Oakland is a delightfully walkable, dog-friendly city that presents the Bay Area’s best – including creative small businesses, multicultural restaurant menus, waterfront trails, sun-splashed brewery patios and parks shaded by redwoods.

For the second consecutive year, DogTrekker is proudly partnering with Visit Oakland to give away an Oakland DogCation®! Don’t miss your chance to win this incredible prize package featuring two nights at the pup-passionate Claremont Club & Spa, a Fairmont Hotel, plus a $100 gift card for food and fun at plank in Jack London Square.

Best-in-show Oakland activities

Oakland – or “The Town,” as it’s often called by locals – rises from the San Francisco Bay and extends into the scenic Oakland and Berkeley Hills. The East Bay Regional Park District manages 73 parks in and around Oakland, offering on- and off-leash adventures across 1,330 miles of trails and 55 shorelines miles. Plenty of neighborhoods have fenced neighborhood dog parks, too, along with diverse cultural events and pup-friendly culinary gems like Cheese Board, Lake Chalet and Drake’s Dealership.

A dog-gone great prize package

The Oakland DogCation® from DogTrekker and Visit Oakland will host two lucky dogs and two people at the Claremont Club & Spa. Tucked along Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve, the grand property offers thoughtful amenities for pups, easy trail access, spa services and San Francisco skyline views. With a $100 gift card from plank, set steps from the Jack London Square waterfront, winners can play arcade and yard games before savoring bar bites, sandwiches, pizzas and drinks in the beer garden.
