Whether you’re on an Interstate 20 road trip or visiting college friends, your trip to Shreveport, Louisiana will be twice the adventure with your dog. Luckily, in addition to riverboat casinos, crawfish and Creole culture, there are tons of pet-friendly hotels in Shreveport for you and your pooch. You can both enjoy Shreveport Dog Park – a Louisiana riverfront paradise – after booking your pet-friendly stay on Culture Trip.

Traveling with your pups but still want to hit the casino? That’s no problem when you stay in the Ballyverse. Bally’s Shreveport Casino & Hotel is perched on the banks of Red River and offers a full selection of table games, poker, and more than 1,500 slot machines. And like all casinos worth their neon stripes, you’ll never have to leave — the eating options are excellent, whether it’s fine dining at the wood-clad Vintage or vibrant Vietnamese flavors at the Noodle Bar. Up to two well-behaved dogs are allowed in each room – just not at the poker tables.

What began in 1907 as Shreveport’s first pharmacy is now its trendiest boutique hotel, complete with a speakeasy-style cocktail lounge.

And not only does the Remington offer the most stylish sleep in town, it has a rooftop dog park for the pups! Treats and pet bags are available for the furry guests.
