Florida vacation spots that are pawfect for pups! By guest bloggers, Connie and Enzo!

3/18/2009

Connie and her husband love traveling with Enzo, their adorable and beautiful Shih Tzu! Connie and Enzo have volunteered to tell us about two great pup friendly places to visit and stay in Florida in Orlando and on Amelia Island.



I love traveling with my dog Enzo and I am always looking for great places to visit. Recently, we just got back from a wonderful vacation in Florida. We stayed at the lovely and very pet friendly Loew's "Portifino Bay Hotel" in Orlando. I cannot say enough great things about this resort. We checked in to a very friendly staff who welcomed us and our dog with open arms. Enzo even received his very own welcome bag with dog treats, pick-up bags, and two dog dishes that had written on them Loews Loves Pets. We were even allowed to sit outside at the outdoor cafes with Enzo and enjoy having a glass of wine and a bite to eat.

    The guest rooms were beautiful and all the pet friendly rooms are located on the first floor. When not in your room they ask that you display the "dog in room" sign so that none of the staff enters the room while your dog is in.

    The resort has beautiful walking trails to walk your pet on and we got to know other pet owners out and about with their dogs. It was truly a great vacation having our sweet Enzo with us. I know Enzo had a great time too.

    Another great dog vacation in Florida is on Amelia Island.

    Here Enzo and I are at the Amelia Island Plantation Inn on Amelia Island off the coast of Florida.The Plantation Inn is a beautiful and pet friendly hotel located right on the ocean. If you golf you will love this resort. The guest rooms were lovely and all have ocean views. The resort was spread out, but had wonderful walking trails which would take you over to the outdoor boutique shopping area which had many great stores. Even a cute doggy boutique. They also have a "general store" which serves breakfast and lunch and you are welcomed to sit on the outside deck area and eat with your pet.

    We had such a great time doing nothing but relaxing and enjoying the sounds of the ocean.

Here are Connie and Enzo out for a walk in Amelia Island on the boardwalk. Enzo looks comfy!

Thanks for the travel tips - we were in Florida recently; and stayed at the La Quinta in Coco Beach... we were happy with it and the trees/park just outside our door to walk the pups.

It was great to read of a resort that welcomes dogs... who knows; maybe I'll get there another time.

Thanks again.

Enzo and Raja are adorable!

My comment isn't really related to the article but y'all seem to take great care of your animal companions so you might be able to help.

I have cats and live in a rural area - I am looking for a natural way to treat them for fleas/ticks. I came across "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" - it seems to be a great product and the company I found has been in business for 40 years. have any of you tried it/heard anything?

Helen, could you do a spot on natural products for animals (not as a replacement for veterinary treatment but in addition to)? What is out there and what works?

Thanks!

Thanks Connie & Enzo (SUCH a cutie!) for the great tips on Florida; I hate to travel without my girls. We're always looking for places that would be comfortable catering to the pups!

Hi Jenny, I have not tried Diatomaceous earth, but have read a little bit about it. I, too was looking for an alternative to spot on flea treatments & commercial pest control spraying, etc. My shih tzu Gracie had a reaction to the spot on treatments as a puppy and that localized portion of her hair fell out & of course I discontinued it's use.Fleas are bad in the Oklahoma heat and I have to use the old pill form, which causes the flea to bite her before dying :( She also has liver & kidney issues, which cause me to be vigilant about her intake of phosphorous, so I gave up on the DE, although am considering it still for my yard. Please post if you try it and tell us what you think!

Hi,

I am going to give it a try on my cats. I am a little wary of using it in the garden - don't want to kill off any useful bugs like worms and honey bees. The supplier seems helpful so I will talk to them and keep everyone posted on the results.

BTW - I am delighted there are so many fabulous places that welcome you and your pups...although they would probably panic if I rolled up with my 15 felines!!

Dear Helen, Raja and Friends,

Since folks seem interested in alternative treatments, has anyone out there tried acupuncture for their pet? What ailments have you used it for and with what results?

My first darling dear Shih Tzu Pinky had accupuncture and moxabustion for her back pain from a slipped disk. It was enormously helpful and lasted almost two weeks between treatments. In spite of the fact that she hated the vet and the process, she got immediate relief.

Shih Tzu owners, remember, these energetic doggies have long backs almost like doxies and they cannot be jumping off couches at severe angles. Leave plenty of room between couch and coffee table so they can jump OUT, not DOWN.
