You need a break.
Too many late evenings at the office. Your dog misses you and your evening walks. It's time to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and recharge! Somewhere peaceful where you can bring your dog.
Seven pet-friendly getaways within easy driving distance of Houston:
Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort in Boerne. On just the other side of San Antonio, this resort features golf, swimming in the Guadalupe River, hiking trails, and a spa to relax in. The Riverwalk is also dog-friendly and a short drive away.
Blisswood Bed & Breakfast in Cat Spring. Only a short drive from Houston, this 500-acre working ranch features 9 guesthouses, antiques, animals, and a gorgeous setting. Enjoy horseback riding, catch & release fishing, archery, trap shooting, hiking, or simply unwind among the live oaks.

Another resource to help plan an enjoyable Texas vacation with your dog is Dogtipper's Texas with Dogs travel book. It's a few years old, but the authors post updates on their website.
