Tips for dog parents....
With temperatures in the 80s and 90s here in the summer, your best friend can easily become dehydrated. Keep a bottle of cool water handy! This is especially true when you take your dog to one of the local dog parks. Although the dog parks are shaded in places, it is important that you and your dog rest in the shadr after romping around the dog park. Also, there are special sunscreen made for your dog.

for dogs. Put ice cubes in your dog's water dish and encourage him/her to stretch out on the cool tiles. Take your dog to any of the dog friendly restaurants listed above.

Received 9/25/2016 Hello. I wanted to thank you for this important web page for anyone who wants to bring their dog to Myrtle Beach. We stayed in one of your pet friendly hotels and ate at your pet friendly resaurants. Since we did not have internet access, we wrote them down in our travel journal and referred to it every day. Thank you for making our vacation so special. Boone, N.C.

Received 8/2/2017 I want to thank you for your dog friendly information about where to stay and where to eat with my pooch. It was very helpful. We especially enjoyed the Market Common shops offer cool water bowls and we ate at Gordon Bierch where the pup got a lot of tail-wagging attention from people passing by.
