Back in the day, it could be a challenge to raise a dog in a major metropolis. But these days many big cities are becoming more and more dog-friendly, with parks, boutiques, day cares, and other assorted pet-services popping up all over the place. However, scouring the cramped and all-too-brief listings in a city’s heavy-duty yellow pages to find what you’re looking for can be frustrating.

City Dog .Net has made the hunt for doggie resources big U.S. cities much easier. Whether you’ve recently moved to a new city, are just visiting, or are considering relocation, their City Dog guidebooks are handy resources for any doggie mama.

These guidebooks are not about “people places” that permit dogs. Instead, they contain detailed listings of city places specifically for dogs … and their people. Each listing contains the address, phone number, hours of operation and payment information, and also includes a detailed review of each dog related business.

Currently, City Dog guidebooks are available for Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Chicago, and Washington D.C. Inside, you’ll find listings for every dog product and service imaginable, from pet sitters, boarding, and doggie daycares, to dog parks, trainers, boutiques, and alternative pet therapies.

For traveling hounds and their human companions, City Dog offers a National Hotel and Resort Guide, which includes comprehensive listings of dog-friendly lodgings all over the United States.

All of the City Dog guides are easy to use, and the perfect size to tuck into your purse or car glove compartment. Coincidentally, these guidebooks are also the perfect size to stuff into a holiday stocking, so pick up a few for those dog-lovin’ city-dwellers on your list!
