The Dog Lover's Companion to Florida 3 Ed: The Inside Scoop on Where to Take Your Dog

Rating:
Summary: A treasure!
Review: Being new to Florida and to dog ownership, this book was a lifesaver! I hated leaving the dog home and now I take her everywhere. The book is written in an upbeat but professional style. References to the author's own dog, Maggie, gives the book a touch or humor as well as instant credibility. I find myself reading just to be entertained, even when I know I'm probably never going to find myself in, say, Sarasota. The book is thorough and objective. Places are not just presented -- they're reviewed. An ideal gift for any dog-lover who's moving to Florida!

Review: I just loved this book! I'm going to Florida with my dogs in a few weeks and have everything already mapped out. If you like taking your dog places, you need to read this book. There are so many fun places we can't wait to get to.

Summary: My dog is SOOOO in love!
Review: I never thought I'd be able to take my dog much beyond the schoolyard and a little park nearby until someone gave me this guidebook. Florida is not exactly the most dog friendly place, at least that's what I thought. Hah! I was very wrong. This guide book tells about all kinds of very cool places to go with a dog. I've even visited a dog bakery and took a vacation with my husband (and dog) in Key West and had a GREAT time. The book is fun to read too. I only wish they'd write one for North Carolina, where we spend every summer. Foxy, our fox terrier mix, says thank you. It's his favorite book.

Summary: not as informative as one might wish
Review: I thought that this book would tell me about safe places, particularly beaches, where dogs are permitted to run off leash. Instead, it tells, in overblown prose and for some reason always referring to the dog as "she," where one may walk one's dog ON a leash. I don't need a book for this information. There are some beaches in Florida where dogs are allowed to run. I know this because I eventually found some of them myself. This book was not a help.

Summary: This book is a must for anybody who has a dog.
Review: I'm a Floridian and I have a dog, so I was pleased to find "The Florida Dog Lover's Companion." I now know which hotels, motels and restaurants where my "best friend" is welcome, as well as parks, beaches and other diversions for pooches. Thank you Sally and Robert for writing this book!

Summary: Incredibly useful
Review: The best book for dog owners living or traveling in Florida. The reviews of places to visit, eat, and stay are accurate and straight foward. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something to do in Florida with their dog.

Summary: A Must Have Book when traveling with your dog in Florida
Review: This book is right on the money. We stayed in the Clearwater Beach area while vacationing in Florida, and used this book to find a place to stay at Clearwater Beach that is dog friendly. Also, the book listed dog beaches and dog friendly cafes. The dog beaches were so much fun for both us and the dog. The book also gave some great tips about taking dogs in Florida, like alligators and salt water, which us Northerners didn't really think about. A great book, would reccommend it to anyone traveling to Florida.
