Dog-friendly Boston, MA

Not only do Boston, MA home owners have a seemingly infinite number of social and entertainment opportunities available to them, their canines have many as well! It's true, Boston, MA is cool place to be if you have a dog. Check out these dog-friendly opportunities in Boston, MA:

Let Spike run free at a dog park

Dogs are allowed on-leash in most local parks, but an off-leash dog park is where it's at. This allows dogs to run free and get their energy out. It is also a good opportunity for them to play fetch, roll around with other dogs, and become better socialized. Peters Park Dog Run in South End is a popular dog run. Nunziato Field Dog Park is the first off-leash dog park in Somerville. Cambridge is home to the Danehy Dog Park, Fresh Pond Reservation Dog Park, Pacific Street Dog Park, and the Fort Washington Dog Park. Brookline is also home to several parks with off-leash dog areas.

Go to Happy Hour and bring Fido along

If you're wanting to enjoy Happy Hour or stop and grab something to drink, don't worry about needing to leave Fido at home. Boston has many dog-friendly bars and beverage stores. V. Cirace in the North End welcomes pooches as their owners shop for wine and gift baskets. The Globe Bar & Cafe has a large, dog-friendly patio area. Best Cellars is another wine shop and liquor store that allows dogs. For more dog-friendly restaurants and shops, view this interactive map on Boston.com.

Join a dog group

Somdog is the Somerville Dog Owners Group. They meet on a monthly basis and take part in regular events. On September 16th is the Somerville Dog Festival where there will be raffles, a demonstration with a police K9 dog, a dog and dog owner look-alike contest, and more. The Walk the Dog Worcester group doubles as a research study on dog walking as a way for people to become more active. View this Meetup.com page for more information on Boston Area dog groups.
