We're All Going to the Dogs

Buzz

If you know us, you know we love our dogs. In fact, Nycci — the woman behind TheList — proudly calls herself a crazy dog mom. Her household includes two gentle giants, Newfoundlands Zuki & Duncan, and the newest addition, Gatzby the oodle, adopted from a relative who recently fell ill. Around here, we don’t need an excuse to celebrate our pups, but National Dog Day on August 26th is the perfect reason to spoil them even more. After all, they’re not just pets, they’re family.

Fun fact: Nearly 70% of U.S. households have a pet, with dogs reigning as America’s favorite companions. Studies even show dog owners tend to be healthier, happier, and live longer. So why not return the love by taking your four-legged bestie everywhere you go? From chic hotels with pup-friendly perks to restaurants that welcome wagging tails, the DMV is packed with places where you and your dog can dine, stay, and play together.
