Brought to you by our Pomeranian ambassadors Finley and Cocoa! We love our 'paw family' and are curating the best pet friendly locales in southern California that you can visit with your furry friends. We are starting with southern CA's wine country Temecula and surrounding towns because it's wonderfully pet friendly and feels like a resort town, but we'll be branching out to more locations in San

Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles as well! Plus, we will also be providing our recommendations for pet friendly travel as we've road tripped across the nation with our pups: Pet Friendly Paw Life ambassadors Finley and Cocoa. Please follow us for pet friendly content (or just adorable updates from Finley and Cocoa). We appreciate the support as we are just getting started! If you are a local southern CA pet friendly business and would like to be featured, please fill out our contact form here: https://petfriendlypawlife.com/

A beautiful lake, dog friendly restaurant, line dancing, Bingo and live music nights, and super Tuscan wine all on acres of beautiful, nature-filled land? Yes please! So many reasons why Vitagliano Vineyards & Winery is one of our favorite pet friendly wineries in Temecula.

Finley has even gone line dancing on Friday nights! Cocoa too although we think she prefers a calmer Bingo night (Thursdays) or live music weekend where we have a paw family brunch together too. Adventure boy Finley LOVES line dancing, which Vitagliano hosts every Friday night.

Watch our video to see a preview of that and how this beautiful winery in the heart of Temecula wine country transforms from day to night!

is located at 36101 Glenoaks Rd, Temecula, CA 92592

If you’re wondering what a dog friendly live theater event at The Style Den in Marina del Rey is like, watch our video. Because we attended this PAWSOME EVENT and we will definitely be back again! From rolling out the pet friendly red carpet (OK trendy black) to mocktails for pups and “hoomans” to a very enjoyable show that your dogs can attend with you on super comfy couches to vendor shopper-tunities, giveaways, raffle prizes, and the dog community coming together (with some incredible doggie fashion too), this was paws down one of the best ways for paw families to enjoy a Saturday night in LA.

Special thanks to event hosts .style.den with help from and and the live theater show with The Dog Log author .lucas.rl

The Style Den is a dog friendly boutique all about curated fashion, wellness and community located at 13455 Maxella Ave. #180 in Marina del Rey at the Villa Marina Marketplace. Paw approved by Finley & Cocoa!

THANK YOU for helping them get this far and please help them advance forward to the finals! It would be amazing to see what we can make happen with our paw community that we’ve come to know and love.

The iconic Hotel del Coronado in San Diego is the ultimate luxury beachfront destination for paw families. With dog friendly dining options, tail-wagging good welcome amenities for pet friendly travelers and close proximity to the famous off-leash Coronado Dog Beach, this is a perfect coastal getaway for these Spring and upcoming Summer days!

Watch our video to see some of the pet friendly dining and dog friendly experiences at “The Del”. Finley & Cocoa love it here and we plan to come back again!

Cocoa has also entered the Pet Lovers Choice Awards. Please support her with a vote! Cocoa is the sweetest 3 year young Pomeranian who greets everyone with sweet kisses (if you’ve met us, you know) and has melted the heart of her paw daddy who once thought he’d never have a dog less than 40 lbs and now has the most special bond with 4 lb Cocoa.

We rarely see little dogs advance in these and Cocoa is currently below the ‘make the cut’ line so please please help her advance and show little dogs are loved too! One vote is free per day, if you pay for more than one vote it supports which is one of our favorite dog rescues.

Copy and paste this link to your browser to vote! We will add links to our bio too - and THANK YOU in advance to anyone who can help Cocoa at least make it past the first round! https://petloverschoiceawards.com/contestant/60311?contest=32

We chose our favorite photo from to be Cocoa’s official entry photo (pictured here). We highly recommend Wandering Woof - they do the absolute best pup photos, have dog friendly photo backdrops and are local in southern CA.

Please help vote for Finley in the Pet Lovers Choice Awards! It would be so nice to have a small dog advance in the rounds. Finley is small but mighty - the dog version of Punch the monkey as he was rejected by his biological mom and now very attached to his “hooman” mama, which is why we started Pet Friendly Paw Life because Finley prefers to come everywhere with his mama. I put a lot of effort into researching dog friendly places for this sweet little boy who insists on coming everywhere with his paw mom.

One vote is FREE daily and if you want more than one vote, it supports which is a no kill shelter that paw mom has supported for years before this contest.

Link here to vote and we will add it to our bio too. And thank you in advance if you can give little Finley a vote!
