Dog Friendly Rentals
Does anyone know of a rental agency that will allow more than two dogs? My husband and I have two dogs and we will be vacationing with my inlaws and they have two dogs. All the dogs are mature show dogs and will be crated when we are not at the cottage/house. Many of the agencies state in their contract that only two mature dogs are permitted. We don't want to rent two properties nor do we want to leave them behind. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Read More...

Pets on vacation?
Do you enjoy taking your pet with you to the OBX? Is it more work for you and is it seem stressful to them? We aren't sure if we should take our dog next year. I hate the idea of another kennel- week for our pup since that is stressful to us all. I guess I'm wondering if its worth taking her (along with 2 kids) and if she will enjoy the beach? Oh, and how do they do with the ride in the car for all those hours getting there? Sorry for so many questions. This is really a big decision for us. Thanks for any input. Read More...

Salty Dog Grooming and Boarding
Has anyone used this dog boarding service in Kill Devil Hills, the house I am staying in in Corolla does not take pets, I plan to take my dogs out for romps in the morning and drop them off in the afternoon during the week of the 4th of July.
