Fido may not want to live under a rock, but dining under one is sure to be a cool experience. At Rattlesnake Saloon in the northwest corner of Alabama, he can do just that. Bring your rootin’ tootin’ Retriever along for a cowboy lunch or dinner at this cave-like restaurant and saloon under a large rock overhang. Canines are welcome to join you at outdoor tables where you can order items like burgers, barbecue and salads, and alcoholic drinks after 5 p.m., and hear the unique acoustics of live music as it echoes beneath the rock. Hitching posts are also available outside the saloon if you’re traveling with a horse.

A true cowboy meal should be followed by a true cowboy stay. Find a primitive spot to pitch a tent at Seven Springs Lodge Campground, which is also home to Rattlesnake Saloon, and gaze up at the night sky. There are also 100 RV and camper sites if you prefer a little more luxury. Horse stalls are available for equine family members and there are trails on over 20,000 acres you’re welcome to explore with Fido during your stay.

At Agnes Lake Tea House in Banff, AB, tasty lunch and refreshing drinks are your reward for trekking just over two miles to get there. Fido will be excited to join you on the journey which starts at Lake Louise and takes you 1,300 feet in elevation to a small log building on the shores of Lake Agnes. The teahouse has no electricity and water is pumped from the lake and boiled. The staff live onsite or make the trek each day. After you and your pup have reached the restaurant, find a table on the deck or relax at a spot overlooking the lake and order sandwiches, soup, fresh-baked bread and desserts. Hot and cold drinks are also available to quench your thirst before you hike back down or continue another three miles to The Plain of Six Glaciers Teahouse.

For an unforgettable visit to Banff, book a room at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and be within steps of the beautiful turquoise glacial lake and spend time exploring the rest of the dog-friendly area.

At Runway Cafe, overlooking the Greenville Downtown Airport, you can have lunch or dinner with Fido while watching small aircraft take off and land. Order healthy options like the Runway Salad, or chow down on delicious bites like the Top Gun Cheeseburger, the Linberg fried flounder fillet or the Barnstormer pimento cheese BLT. For dessert, order deep-fried Oreos. After you eat, kids without fur can play on the adjoining playground.

Spend the night at Homewood Suites by Hilton Greenville and take Fido for a walk on 20 acres of greenspace at Legacy Park or let him run off leash at The Unleashed Dog Bar while you grab a drink.

Think cereal is just for breakfast? Or Cap’n Crunch is just for kids? Think again. At Nashville’s Wanna Spoon Cereal Bar, you can have a bowl of your childhood favorites, mix them together or add toppings like fruit, granola or chocolate syrup any time of day! Bring Fido to the back patio for a bit of nostalgia as you enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner and play a game of corn hole, hang out around the fire pit and snap pics in front of the murals and other photo ops like a life-size cow and giant floating spoon. Wanna Spoon also serves up ice cream swirls, milkshakes, coffee, teas and specialty drinks.

Spend some time exploring Nashville’s trendy 12th South neighborhood and shop at pet-friendly stores like Draper James and White’s Mercantile before checking into this nearby urban bungalow.

Each night at Pelletier's Restaurant & Fish Boil, Fido is welcome to join you for an unforgettable dining experience. The Door County Fish Boil is a local tradition that’s fun for the whole family, including your pup. The meal begins with a dramatic presentation of the cooking process over a large open fire. The Master Boiler will share facts and history with the crowd before the fire is lit and the cooking begins. Once the fish is boiled to perfection, kerosene is added to the fire to create a burst of flames and an overflow from the kettle. Then it’s time to find your seat and get ready to dine. The meal features Lake Michigan whitefish steaks, boiled baby red potatoes and homemade cole slaw along with a slice of Door County Cherry Pie. Call ahead for fish boil reservations and arrive 40 minutes early to view the spectacle.

After you and your pooch get your bellies full, head to O’Meara’s Cottage Loft for a good night’s rest. Fido will be greeted with dog treats and pet dishes to use during his stay. You can also take advantage of nearby dog-friendly attractions like Peninsula State Park and the Skyway Drive-In Theater.

Find a tree stump to sit on and gather around a wooden table with your pup at The Place in Gulliford. This unique outdoor restaurant is open seasonally on summer evenings and in addition to your furry friends, you can also bring your own beer and sides like bread or salads. The staff will serve up clams, lobster, corn, steamers, fish, steak, chicken, and more, all cooked over an 18-foot fire pit in the center of the restaurant. The menu is never the same, but every night is like a neighborhood cookout with friends.

With all its New England charm, you won’t want to leave Gulliford. Head back to this waterfront home with Fido and kick back in the sunroom to enjoy views of Faulker's Island Lighthouse and Long Island Sound.

Get your fill of coffee, tea, and espresso at Joplin Greenhouse & The Coffee Shop, and soak in the beautiful surroundings of the working greenhouse while you’re there. Pick up a drink from the bar which also includes specialty beverages like Berry Hibiscus Lemonade, a Cinnamon Roll Latte or Orange Blossom, then shop for plants, fresh flowers and pottery. Or, pick up a bag of small-batch whole-bean roasted coffee to take home.

When your espresso has worn off and you’re ready to call it a day, head to nearby La Quinta by Wyndham Joplin. Fido will love sniffing around the onsite pet walk and joining you around the outdoor courtyard fire pit.
