[.ca] Dog Friendly New England (ISBN 0881506915)

This Book Is A Must-Have!:
I've purchased a few pet travel books, but this one is by far the best one I've seen. My husband, dog and I just came back from a vacation in Portland, ME and this book was indispensable. Not only did it list some great pet shops to visit, but also provided us with a wonderful place to leave the puppy at Doggie Day Camp while we went shopping for the day. The other pet travel guides I have usually just list lodging accomodations, but this book lists not only canine-friendly places to stay, but also recreational areas, restaurants, boarding and grooming services and even vets in the area in case of a puppy emergency! All entries have addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and websites if available. In addition, the front section of the book has some great travel tips. Each region of each state is given a "biscuit rating" as to its level of canine-friendliness and each has a handy map. If you love to travel in New England and don't want to leave Fido at home, then you need this book.

I expected more:
I expected more places that you can let dogs off-leash. There are many "dog parks" in CT that were not even mentioned in this book. All in all it, it gave me a couple of places to go. I am more interested in places that dogs can socialized and run.
