A huge city with beaches, hikes and pet-friendly hotels, best handled one neighborhood at a time.

Traveling to Los Angeles with a Pet

Los Angeles can be excellent with a pet if you resist the urge to cross the whole metro area every day. Pick West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Downtown or another neighborhood based on the trip you want, then use nearby parks and walking routes.

Always verify the pet policy directly with the hotel before you book. Fees, pet limits, accepted animal types and rules about leaving pets unattended can change by property and room type.

Where to Stay

  • West Hollywood for restaurants, nightlife and central access
  • Santa Monica for coastal weather and walking
  • Downtown LA for museums, events and an urban base

Tips for a Better Trip

  • Traffic makes hotel location unusually important.
  • Trail and beach pet rules vary, so verify each destination before leaving.
  • Hot inland weather can be very different from temperatures near the coast.

Before You Leave Home

Keep vaccination information, identification and your veterinarian's contact details easy to reach. For interstate travel, the USDA notes that individual states and territories can set animal-health requirements, so check the rules for your destination when planning a longer trip.
