Those who have furry four-legged friends know that it’s fun to bring them along on the occasional outing! It’s a great opportunity for them to get some exercise, use up some energy, socialize and spend some time with you. It’s a win-win for all. Being responsible pet owner that we know you are, be sure your dog’s vaccinations, heart-worm treatment and flea prevention are up to date just as you would expect others to do too! Here are some places to keep in mind next time Spot wants to hop in the car for a ride!

Bonus: Jake’s Place

If you were around when Kwik Kar off Central in Bedford had a fire in 2013, you may know about the fenced-in space the owners created in tribute to Jake, who was seriously hurt in the fire. This humble spot is open anytime to the community, even if you’re not getting your car serviced there. It has a picnic table and trash cans. Just note that it’s one large space, so it’s not separated into big/small dog areas. BYO water and poop bags.

Don’t forget that any city park is welcoming to your pooch as long as you have them on a leash.

Retailers:

Of course, you’re already visiting Petco and Petsmart. They’re great social outings for Rover even if you don’t “need” anything! The following list of retailers around here have a history of welcoming your leashed canine loved one, but it’s ultimately up to each individual manager, so be sure to call before you go:

  • Lowe’s
  • Home Depot
  • Bass Pro Shops 

These are the ones we’ve found so far. Let us know in the comments if you are aware of other retailers in the mid-cities areas that will let you bring in your pet while you shop! Of course, true service dogs are usually welcome in all establishments.

You know how excited Oreo gets when he hears you pick up your car keys! Now you’re armed with some great outing options to explore together! It’s best to call any restaurant or retailer before heading out with your fur-baby because rules change and here in Texas, it’s never good to leave your pet in a car that can heat up while you’re in the store.
