Three Texas cities: Houston, San Antonio and Austin top the list of North America's most accommodating cities for travelers with pets, based on the number of pet-friendly lodgings included in the latest edition of Traveling with your Pet: The AAA PetBook. The AAA PetBook, with more than 13,000 listings of hotels and other accommodations that allow pets, is a comprehensive travel guide for pet owners. This ranking of cities is based on the number of AAA Approved and Diamond rated pet-friendly hotels. The list also notes pet-friendly AAA Approved attractions, the number of local dog parks listed on official city websites and other outside sources, and the number of American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accredited animal clinics.
