Naples was recently named a top city to visit with your dog by Reviews.com, a leading consumer advocacy organization. The new report details the top cities that are home to the most dog-friendly destinations. Researchers from Reviews.com assessed data provided by TripAdvisor and Touropia to create the list. Naples ranked #17 out of 567 cities overall and ranked 12th for its numerous dog-friendly amenities. “The greater Naples area is proudly pet-friendly and visitors love bringing their dogs to stroll our main downtown shopping and dining districts of Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South” said Jack Wert, executive director of the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades CVB. “We are a boating community, so you’ll see many dogs outfitted with their pet PFD’s on Marco Island’s Hemingway Water Shuttle that goes to the dog-friendly beach at beautiful Keewaydin Island.” Reviews.com analyzed cities on a strict criterion that includes the number of dog parks, trails and nearby dog-friendly beaches; the number of dog-friendly restaurants; options for dog-friendly lodging; availability of dog daycare; as well as nearby veterinarians or emergency clinics. "Using seven different factors, we wanted the data to extend beyond the availability of vets and lodging to ensure these destinations were as dog-friendly as possible. The aim was to allow for amenities and activities to influence our top picks as much as the necessities. After all, if you’re traveling all this way with your pet, the idea is to make memories with them," says Tyler Epps, researcher for Reviews.com. Reviews.com’s experience providing authoritative reviews on both products and services puts the site in a unique position to provide a comprehensive guide for consumers ensuring they find a destination that facilitates fun for fido and the family.
