While you’re chowing down on a MUTTS Original Chicken Sandwich and sipping a Barkarita, Fido will be exploring the one-acre off-leash dog park at MUTTS Canine Cantina in Dallas. The park features separate areas for large and small dogs, and attendants are on duty to keep things clean and ensure the pups have ample water for both drinking and playing. If your dog would rather hang by your side, leashed pups are welcome on the patio where they can order a Pupsicle (made of beef broth, peanut butter, and an edible bone) or the Doggie Dog, a bite-sized 100% beef frank.

If your furry friend is about to celebrate a birthday, contact MUTTS Pawty Planner to schedule a private event with all of his pals. Four-legged guests receive party hats and bow ties, a bowl of bones, and a bucket of popcorn. Decorations for the party include fire hydrant centerpieces, and all canines get access to the dog park.

MUTTS also has locations in Fort Worth and Allen, TX. Access is by membership only, but daily passes can be purchased for $10.

Eat. Drink. Stay. That’s the motto of Denver’s Watering Bowl, also referred to as “your best friend’s bar” because it pays special attention to four-legged guests. This Glendale neighborhood restaurant and tavern boasts 7,000 square feet of fenced, turf dog park for Fido to stretch his legs. It also has two pet-friendly patios where your pup can join you for a delicious meal. If he's been a good boy, order a round of dog treats for the table or a doggy cake on special occasions.

Furry guests are welcomed through a special side entrance leading straight to the patio area. When temperatures rise, your pup can cool off in a doggy pool or on a bed of ice. In the winter, heated tents will keep the patio toasty. Dog park attendants are also on hand to clean up after your pooch and make sure he’s happy.

At the Watering Bowl, Fido plays for free.

From the play area and wash stations to doggie treats and 2,400 square feet of fenced off-leash fun, this place is all about keeping Fido happy. Pups can play on the artificial turf while a Dog Park supervisor, also known as a Wooferee, keeps a watchful eye on the proceedings.

Restaurants that allow dogs to dine indoors can be hard to find. In fact, there is only one in the state of Colorado, but it’s a good one! Pub Dog welcomes leashed hounds inside the restaurant and on the outdoor patio. There are no servers, so head to the counter and order the Dog Pile Nachos for yourself and choose from a Pupsicle, Puppy Patty, Bacon, Bark Bowl, or Celery and Carrots from the dog menu. Fido can work it off later by gallivanting with friends in the 3,000-square-foot, fully fenced, off-leash dog park. On your best friend's birthday or “gotcha” day, celebrate by booking the entire dining room for your private event or simply show up ready to "pawty!" Don’t forget to pick up a doggy cake from nearby Wag n’ Wash!

Pub Dog adds a 4% membership fee to your bill at each visit.
