Dogs Welcome! How to Make the Most of Outdoor Events With Your Pup

With summer approaching, Shoreline's outdoor events often welcome dogs, allowing owners to include their pets in activities. Key events like the Shoreline Farmers Market and Pups on Parade offer fun experiences for dogs and their owners. Pet owners must verify event details and consider their dog’s personality when choosing events. Essential items, including a leash, poop bags, and water, are crucial for a successful outing. Monitoring dogs for signs of discomfort or overstimulation can help maintain a positive experience.

Courtesy in managing dogs and respecting others at events enhances the enjoyment for everyone. Aubrey Cook, owner of Rex & Roxy Pet Care, emphasizes the importance of structured outings for energetic dogs. A weekly newsletter provides updates on dog-friendly events in the area.
