If Fido’s feeling overly adventurous in the new year and needs a change of scenery or a dose of culture, plan a trip overseas. Once you’ve checked the rules and regulations for canine entry to both your choice destination and return home, find an airline that suits your needs and start planning your getaway. From England to Australia, we’ve got a dog-friendly itinerary perfect for your travels. If you want to leave U.S. soil, but without the long-distance flights, consider one of the Canadian provinces, Mexico, or the U.S. Territories instead.

Of course, your travel bucket list doesn’t have to be extravagant. A simple road trip with your furry co-pilot is the perfect bonding experience and there are plenty of epic destinations across the U.S. with dog-friendly points of interest. You and your pooch can meet the cast of "Cars," stay in a pet-friendly wigwam and discover countless roadside oddities on "The Mother Road," Route 66. Or, run shoulder-to-shoulder with America’s second-longest river, The Mississippi, on the Great River Road; discover dog-friendly beaches and quaint towns along America’s third coast; explore vast prairies, thriving wildlife habitats, epic badlands and world-famous monuments in South Dakota; drive along California’s stunning coastline on the Pacific Coast Highway; or tour the A1A along Florida's Atlantic coast. It doesn't matter which road trip you embark upon, as long as your furry friend can ride along. Just don't trust him with the map!

Take to the skies with your pooch by your side. Fido will want to become a four-legged frequent flier after soaring in a dog-friendly seaplane for the first time. From spectacular vantages of the Great Lakes and mountain ranges to astonishing cityscapes, there’s a flight that will give your furry best friend an unforgettable journey above some of the most scenic spots in the U.S. Climb on board Kenmore Air for a bird’s-eye view of Seattle, Elliot Bay and Lake Union’s famous houseboat community, enjoy the Miami skyline and Florida Keys beaches with Miami Seaplane Tours, or travel between Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard with your pooch on board Cape Air. For maximum canine comfort, these sightseeing tours have short flight times, limited passenger numbers and even allow pups to fly in the cabin with no carrier.

If your pooch has been itching to see one of the seven wonders of the world, it’s time to plan a trip to the Grand Canyon. One of the most pet-friendly national parks in the West, the massive geological wonder should be on every canine’s bucket list. While he’s there, Fido can mark “becoming a B.A.R.K. Ranger” off his list, too. Other awe-inspiring national parks where he can take the oath include Yosemite and Yellowstone.

If Fido’s been there and done that at the national parks, visit another iconic American destination like Times Square, the Golden Gate Bridge, the French Quarter, or the New York side of Niagara Falls.

Treat Fido to a dream vacation and enjoy a stay like no other. You and your pup can curl up in front of a log fire in a traditional yurt or a dome home, disconnect at an off-grid stay, or climb to new heights in a treehouse. If you both like to be among other furry friends, invite your pup to step back in time at an actual dude ranch, or experience life on a working farm. If he’d rather sit back and relax, a pet-friendly houseboat or an Airbnb with a view might suit him better. Or, if you don’t mind sharing a small space, try out tiny home living or check into a skoolie. Choose the stay that fits your canine's travel personality and give your good boy a trip he'll never forget.

If you and your four-legged travel companion have been going on the same adventures year after year, it’s time to mix it up! Make 2025 the year of firsts for Fido. If he’s never seen the ocean, head to one of the best dog-friendly beaches on the west, east or Gulf coasts and let him feel the sand beneath his paws.

Pups looking for a unique adventure have options, too. Maybe he wants to see where all those bones he’s buried have gone by going underground. Several caves and caverns across the U.S. like Hidden River Cave & American Cave Museum in Kentucky, welcome four-legged spelunkers on tours. Or, soar to new heights on a tram or gondola, sail across the water on a dog-friendly ferry, or ride the rails together on a scenic train excursion. No matter what your pup has in mind, the “pawsibilities” are endless!

Whether he’s an expert backpacker or wants to try glamping for the first time, the great outdoors is calling Fido’s name in 2025. Plan a glamping trip to Under Canvas and all you have to do is show up! With locations near many of the country’s most celebrated national parks and attractions, glamping at Under Canvas allows you and your pooch to “ruff” it in style. If Fido prefers solid walls over canvas, book an Airstream rental, RV or state park cabin and experience camping in comfort. But if truly “ruffing” it is on your pup’s list, check out a campground in your state, or try out a super pet-friendly KOA.

No matter where or how you choose to set up camp with Fido, you’re sure to enjoy activities like stargazing, hiking, mountain biking, swimming and geocaching.

The Queen Mary II is one of the most iconic cruise ships ever launched. The historic transatlantic journey takes passengers from Southampton, England, to New York (and back). It’s currently the only ship that offers pet-friendly transit between England and the United States. The Queen Mary II employs specialists to make your pooch’s travel as comfortable as possible. Five-star treatment for your dog starts with the Kennel Master greeting Fido with a welcome gift, including name tags, food dishes and toys.

Your first trip across the water doesn’t have to be as grand as transatlantic though. Bring your pup along for a sailing trip in destinations like Acadia National Park in Maine, take a dog-friendly day cruise with The Fun Zone Boat Company in Newport Beach, CA, or Mercury’s Canine Cruise in Chicago, IL.
