Tailchasers Dog Park + Pub
Tailchasers Dog Park + Pub offers a fresh take on off-leash parks by enhancing the experience for dogs and their owners in Kerrville, TX. Here, pups can run and play in a secure, fun environment while their humans enjoy a variety of cold beers, house wines, snacks, and meals from the food truck park. The space also features tabletop games for added enjoyment. Pup cups are even available to treat your furry friends.
After letting Fido burn off some energy, head to the dog-friendly Blue Oak Trading Company next door. This multi-vendor market offers diverse clothing, accessories, handmade crafts, art, and vintage furniture. After your shopping spree, relax at the Y O Ranch Hotel, where your pooch will be welcomed with a treat.
Bike Dog East Sac Taproom
Bike Dog, a new addition to Sacramento, CA, was founded by four friends passionate about bikes, dogs and brewing. Their shared enthusiasm led to this uniquely named craft brewery. At Bike Dog, visitors can savor cold, expertly crafted beers and indulge in delicious bites from a rotating lineup of food trucks throughout the week. Well-behaved pups on leashes are always welcome, and stylish collars can be purchased from the swag selection.
Book a stay at the nearby Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, where you and your furry companion will find convenience and comfort. The hotel welcomes pets for no additional fee, providing dog beds, bowls, and treats at the front desk to ensure a home-like stay for your four-legged friend. While in the area, check out Bike Dog’s other locations on Broadway and the west side.

The dog park at Angora Frog Farm is within a magical 14-acre adventure land for two- and four-legged family members. At the entrance of the farm, you'll find dedicated play areas for large and small breeds, complete with shaded spots, benches, and engaging agility features. Don't miss other cool attractions at the farm, including the storybook-themed area along the half-mile trail, which showcases a lookout tower with a slide, a spider swing, a wobble bridge, and more.
After your pup has expended all his energy, grab a bite at Balter Beerworks. This local brewery and pub has a spacious patio and beer garden, and they offer a range of vegetarian and gluten-free options. Then, stay overnight at the nearby Scottish Inn.

Spend a cozy, quiet night cuddling with your furry companion and perusing your purchases at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Airport- Lincoln an IHG Hotel. Then begin your next day at Reactor, a local spot where pets are also welcome inside.
Dog Park at 49th State Brewing Company
Before the cold sets in, visit the new dog park at 49th State Brewing Company, located next to their beer garden in downtown Anchorage, AK. This off-leash, fenced area features convenient waste stations and plenty of room for your dog to run and play.

Hero Dog Park
Fido is in for a treat at Hero Dog Park! This exciting off-leash park features designated play areas for small and large dogs, a perimeter walking path, a cozy patio seating area for humans, and convenient utility services. Named in honor of a courageous war dog highlighted in a 1995 local newspaper, the park is a heartfelt tribute to our loyal four-legged friends.
After a fun day at the park, reward your pup with a visit to Bag of Bones Barkery, an upscale pet store offering natural and holistic treats. Then, unwind with a restful night at Homewood Suites by Hilton Princeton.
