If you're planning a weekend getaway in Dutchess County or the Hudson Valley, or you live in the area and are looking for a destination for a day-trip, you may be wondering where you can bring your dog along with you. Rhinebeck, NY provides a wonderful vacation spot with many places that you are welcome to bring your cuddly canine along. With two dogs and five cats, we have some experience in pet-friendly travel and are happy to share our favorite spots.
 
Many Rhinebeck restaurants offer outdoor seating, where you and your furry friend can enjoy a meal together. Graydon Morton, one of the seven pets in the Morton household, has a few recommendations for good eats that are sure to please and are much tastier than the snacks his housemates leave in the litter box.
