Fun Places to Take Your Dog this Summer
Owning a dog brings a lot of joy into your life. Dogs are so much more than a pet; they’re a part of the family. You wouldn’t want to make it hard on yourself by leaving your dog at home while the rest of the family spends a day out of the house enjoying the warm weather— why not bring them with! Realistically, you can’t take your dog with you everywhere you go; however, when you’re just looking for a fun way to spend your free time on a day trip, here are some places to take your dog this summer that the whole family can enjoy.
Spend the Day at a Dog Friendly Beach
Not sure where you can find a dog friendly beach in your area? Don’t worry! You can find a list of beaches online across the United States that allow pets. This summer take your beloved pet along with you to enjoy some fun in the sun! You’ll have a blast running up and down the sandy beaches or playing frisbee with your furry best friend. Don't live near a beach? No worries, look for trails and forest preserves in your area where the family can enjoy hiking, picnics and more!
Visit a Dog Friendly Restaurant
Many restaurants offer outdoor dining where your pet can actually sit by the table just like when you’re eating at home. The single low feeding system is a perfect accessory to bring to the restaurant, so your pet feels like it's eating with you too! Online you can find a list of some of the restaurants in your area where dogs are welcome. The next time you decide to dine out, look for a dog friendly restaurant where your pet can join you.
Keep Your Car Clean During Doggy Day Trips
