5 Best Dog-Friendly Places to Stay in Bozeman

Vacations are a wonderful time, a time to relax and unwind… well unless you have kids. Accommodations are always a must when planning a vacation but since Bozeman is the dog capital of the state (we’re dog people so we are bias), it is great to know what places you can stay with your beloved canine friends. Bozeman is an amazing location to bring your dog because unlike many kids, your dog won’t complain about being on trails deep in the forest, walking through beautiful rivers, and being leashed up on the sidewalk while mom and dad enjoy a wonderful dinner at many of Bozeman’s local restaurants. Grab your pup and sit back as we bark some useful trip tips your way.
