Maine draws thousands of visitors each year, many of whom return season after season. The state’s natural beauty and captivating topography make it a top destination for those who love the outdoors. Maine’s sand beaches, rocky coast, inland mountains, meandering rivers, and dozens of parks draw outdoor enthusiasts from across the world. If you love to travel with your four-legged friend, Maine is a great destination for you.
Many state parks, beaches, and lakes permit dogs to accompany you, although some restrictions may apply. You can find pet-friendly accommodations and restaurants throughout the state. If you can’t find an inn or hotel that allows pets, consider booking a local kennel or dog-sitting service to board your pooch. Traveling with a pet in Maine always carries the risk of accidents or illness. Wild animals in the wilderness may act unpredictably and have an encounter with your pet. Always know the address and phone number of a local veterinarian in case of an emergency. With proper precautions and your dog at your side, you’ll have the trip of a lifetime in Maine.
