Us bipeds can easily refer to our trusty Zagats whenever we're up for a night on the town, but what about our quadruped pals?

That keen sense of smell will only get them so far.

City Dog, a unique series of guidebooks for pet owners in 8 major cities across the U.S. including Chicago, Boston & L.A., profiles an extensive range of dog-related haunts from daycare centers to alternative therapists.

Acupupturists, perhaps?

Dedicated to helping urbanites find the resources they need to raise happy, healthy puppies, City Dog not only maps out local businesses in each city, they also offer helpful reviews and valuable insider information.

In other words, they've gone ahead and marked Rover's territory so that he won't have to (but probably will anyway).

City Dog guidebooks are available at Citydog.net.
