Hi, I’m Carly, the heart and soul behind Nala’s Dog Blog—a budget-friendly travel resource dedicated to adventurous dog moms who refuse to put their dreams on hold. My journey into the world of pet-friendly travel started in the most unexpected way: with an 8-pound Pomchi named Nala.
Before Nala came into my life, I was stuck in the urban grind of Toronto, longing for the wild places that once fueled my soul. Anxiety, routine, and the pressure of city living had dulled my adventurous spirit. Then came Nala—tiny but fierce, a survivor from the start. Despite her tough beginnings and serious health scares, her zest for life never wavered. Watching her fearlessly take on the world rekindled something in me: the courage to chase my own adventures again.
We started small—local parks, weekend road trips—but soon, we were scaling mountains, camping under starry skies, and proving that adventure doesn’t require luxury—just the right mindset and a four-legged best friend.
What began as an Instagram page documenting our travels quickly grew into something much bigger: a movement to inspire and empower women to explore the world without breaking the bank.
What Nala’s Dog Blog is All About
This isn’t just another pet travel blog. It’s a community, a resource, and a call to adventure.

My Mission
At Nala’s Dog Blog, I believe:
