With fall almost upon us, and summer vacation a distant memory, we thought the best cure for impending winter blues was a new DogCation Sweepstakes. This month we are barking louder then ever because it is a big one. We are set to take you down the coast to Carmel Highlands with an incredible three-night stay at a luxurious rental property. You will have nary a care in the world when you and your four-legged pals watch the sunset over the ocean from the comfort of a private home.

Mutt Strutt 2012

Last Saturday a parade of pooches took over Coyote Point Park in San Mateo for the annual Mutt Strutt. Close to 500 uprights and over 300 dogs strutted their stuff to raise money for the Peninsula Humane Society’s Hope Program.

Dog Days of Summer at AT&T Park

DogTrekker was on the field and in the bleachers last Sunday at AT&T Park for the 13th annual Dog Days of Summer to benefit the San Francisco SPCA. Over 600 dogs, many dressed in their best San Francisco Giants orange and black attire, competed in the best-dressed contest and then strutted their stuff around the field to the cheers of appreciative fans.

Dog-Passionate Sacramento

The city of Sacramento has joined the DogTrekker family and the uprights in the office, as well as our four-legged paw testers, are all excited to welcome them as our newest dog passionate destination partner.  Dog-friendly California begins here, as you will find out when you explore all Sacramento has to offer, from hikes to scenic walks, dog parks to swim spots as well as numerous hotels and restaurants which welcome your furry friend. Sacramento is the star attraction on the map of California, not only our state capital, but the place where adventure begins.

Bark in the Park 2012

Bark in the Park San Jose 2012 is almost here and DogTrekker is looking forward to another paw-tastic day at William Street in downtown San Jose. Last year's event was pretty spectacular (see what we thought here) and we are guessing this year’s event will be another crowd pleaser. On Saturday uprights and their dogs will gather from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in downtown San Jose for the largest dog festival in the United States.
