Making Your Pet Feel at Home

Many hotels with pet policies charge a small fee (either nightly or per stay), and others may have weight limits for pets—make sure to read the fine print before booking. Look for hotels that provide pet amenities such as bowls, pet beds, complimentary waste bags, and specialty treats. Some may even offer pet-sitting services, like walking or grooming. 

From mornings in the park to afternoons on a pet-friendly patio, McKinney is a city that makes traveling with your pup easy. In addition to wide, paved trails that are perfect for walks, Bonnie Wenk Park has a two-acre lighted dog park  with separate areas for large and small dogs, while Towne Lake Recreation Area offers scenic lakeside hiking.
