Pet Friendly Alexandria
Alexandria is known as being one of the most dog-friendly cities in America. As you walk along the streets in Del Ray or Old Town, you won't get far before you see water bowls (or even free treats!) set out for your four-legged friend. Most shops carry at least something for your canine companion and there are even shops devoted solely to pampering your precious pooch!
