Top Spots In Philadelphia To Spoil Your Dog

We love our pets. So much so that according to the American Pet Productions Manufacturers Association we will spend more than $62 billion on pampering our pooches, kittens and other pets. For dog owners we don't think twice about spending for treats, spa days, the latest toy or pet facials and messages. We have come along way from taking our dogs for a walk in the park.

Who says history is just for humans? You and your four-legged friend can take a walking tour of historic Old City. Leash up your pup and he or she can accompany you on these name-your-own-price walking tours through some of America's most historic sites and neighborhoods. Multiple tour options are available. While your pet may not be able to go inside some of the attractions, pet-friendly tour guides will stay outside as you experience the sites and sounds of Colonial Philadelphia. Given the length of the tours, you may want to consider booking in the fall and spring and avoid the heat of summer and the cold of winter.
