Tourism is hugely important to Florida, and the industry caters to dog owners as well. A study by RewardExpert ranked the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater region as the No. 1 region to travel with pets in the U.S.
It can get pretty hot in St. Petersburg, but the city looks out for doggie residents and visitors with an annual dog swim day at Fossil Park Pool. There is even a commercial Dog Bar, a combination of an off-leash dog park and a full-service bar.
