Picture this: You land in New York, LA, or Miami, with your best pal in tow. Your best pal also happens to be your dog, and you travel together, naturally. You catch an Uber to The Standard and check in. You’re shown to your room where you slip into one of our very cozy robes and your dog curls up, oh so comfy, beside you. Ahhhhhh. What could be better?
Well, some our favorite travel companions have four legs, a tail, and now, more money to throw around, because dogs now stay for free at The Standard. But that doesn’t mean Fido has to stay inside. Picture your pup strutting around the city streets, in the sharpest duds to boot, because we found the best workouts, psychics, night clubs, spas, and adventures calling you and your pup’s name in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.
