Emotional Support Animals in California are supported by many industries.

And if you have your ESA letter, you have a lot to look forward to.

For example, do you feel that your Emotional Support Animal has earned a vacation?  

If so, California might just be the place to go. 

California is a state that is friendly to ESA owners.  Residents and visitors alike have adventures to look forward to with their ESA by their side.

Here’s just a glimpse of what’s in store for the Emotional Support Animals in California and their owners.

ESA Dog Friendly Beaches in California

There are scores of dog friendly beaches throughout the state.  And those who have visited these beaches with their ESA will tell you there is nothing quite so enjoyable as running down the beach with your friend.   Some dogs love to get in the water and swim – some like to take it slow.  And then there are those dogs running up and down the beach eager to make new dog friends.  Each dog reacts uniquely to the beach venture.  And it’s fun to be a part of that experience.   Whether it’s Rosie’s Dog Beach or Monterey Bay Whale Watch, beach loving ESAs and their owners won’t be disappointed.

ESA Friendly Hiking Trails

Then there are the ESA friendly hiking trails – plenty of them.  Whether you want to hike through a state park, walk a one hour trail closer to town, hike a ranch preserve or trail blaze through a Canyon, it’s all there.  You can even take a long camping hike.

Eating Out with Your ESA in California

Once you both are ready to clean up and dress up, there are plenty of restaurants that will welcome you, your family and that special family member, your ESA. 

California decided to make dog dining legal in 2016.   It depends on which restaurant and which county, but it won’t be hard to find an outdoor restaurant to accommodate everyone’s taste.  Dogs are expected to eat too. There are some restaurants where dogs eat free.  There are even state regulations on what kind of container the dog can eat out of.

Don’t be concerned about sanitation.  There are strict regulations that the staff and customers must follow to keep everyone safe and well, while they enjoy their meal. 

Dog Events in California

But wait!  There is even more to do with your ESA dog in California.   There are “howloween” dress up events, a parade and other dog party events.

Don’t’ worry about accommodations or hotels.  Take your ESA letter with you and you should be fine.

We have found that an ESA will continue to be your best friend and support on new adventures.  They want you to have a good time too!  That’s part of their job! 

So have the time of your lives in California!
