TripsWithPets.com has launched a new and enhanced comprehensive directory, which allows pet parents to find pet-friendly attractions, restaurants and beaches, and other pet-friendly things to do in the U.S. and Canada.

The new directory allows pet parents to not only use the site to plan extended trips, but to find pet-friendly things to do right around the corner. The directory provides options for pet parents so they can plan their next adventure with ease.

Looking to head out on a day excursion? Find everything from pet-friendly wineries to places to pan for gold with your pooch. Just enough time for a quick outing? Find a pet-friendly restaurant or a dog-friendly beach in an instant.

Kim Salerno, president and founder of Trips with Pets Inc., said she us excited about the launch of the new directory.

"Pet parents want to spend more time with their pets. However, many don't realize that there's a whole lot more do with them besides dog parks and hikes," she said. "Experiencing local pet-friendly activities and trips with your pet not only strengthens your bond, it fosters a sense of community by bringing people together."

Many unexpected venues will allow or even cater to pets, but people do not know to ask. TripsWithPets.com has done the research and asked the questions for pet parents to create this new feature, which will educate people of their options and reduce the time and hassle of sniffing out new pet-friendly places to explore.
