As a third generation native of Phoenix, I often say, heat is in my blood. Even though the summer temperatures can be brutal, it also brings over 320 sunny days per year.
Arizona offers so much more than dry, cactus-filled desert landscape. Our southwestern U.S. state is home to natural sites like Sagurao National Park, the Colorado River, and of course, the Grand Canyon. Our state is also known for its culinary hot spots, rich culture, and seasonal outdoor events that draw in thousands of tourists year after year.
We hope you’ll visit Doggy Check In’s home headquarters and plan your next vacation to Arizona with your pooch in tow!
You’ll be happy to know that Arizona is very dog-friendly. From restaurants and markets to activities and adventures, there’s no better way to experience beautiful Arizona then with your beloved 4-legged friend by your side.
