After the big move, and when you finally feel settled in and are (mostly) unpacked, it\u2019s time to explore places to go and things to do in your new hometown.\u00a0 If you\u2019re like most pet parents, you\u2019ll want to include your furry family member in these new adventures.<\/p>\n

Here are suggestions for finding pet friendly<\/a> places and things to do as you explore the new place you call home!<\/p>\n

Pet Friendly Restaurants & Breweries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many restaurants with outdoor seating areas allow dogs to dine with their people.\u00a0 From coffee shops and snack shacks to pubs and fine dining establishments — there are pet friendly eateries<\/a> for any budget and any palate!<\/p>\n

Additionally, there are an overwhelming number of craft beer breweries popping up, and the good news is that many of them welcome dogs indoors.\u00a0 However, just like restaurants, those that prepare and serve food are not permitted to allow pets indoors.\u00a0 So grab your furry sidekick and head to one of the pet friendly breweries in your new hometown to try some local beers on tap.<\/p>\n

Before you go be sure to confirm the establishment\u2019s pet policy.\u00a0 It\u2019s also important to make sure your pet is prepared<\/a> to be on his best behavior.\u00a0 If your pet is not good around crowds, you\u2019ll want to go at an off-peak time.\u00a0 If he\u2019s high energy, be sure to exercise him a bit beforehand.<\/p>\n

Dog Friendly Beaches
\n<\/strong>Running, splashing and kicking up the sand are some of the best ways to get your pooch outside and exploring in your new hometown.\u00a0 There are many beaches<\/a> — whether lake or ocean — that welcome four-legged beach-goers.\u00a0 Before you pack up your pooch and hit the road, be mindful of the beaches\u2019 rules and regulations.\u00a0 Some beaches require that your dog be on-leash at all times, while others allow pets off-leash under voice control.\u00a0 Most beaches have restrictions on when your dog is allowed on the beach.\u00a0 Dogs may only be allowed on beaches<\/a> during certain months and\/or certain times of the day.
\nA visit to the beach can be a great retreat for you and your pet after moving.\u00a0 Just be sure you\u2019re both prepared to follow the beach\u2019s pet guidelines.\u00a0 This will help ensure your day at the beach is the respite you both deserve!<\/p>\n

Pet Friendly Attractions
\nEach town has its own fun things to do, including those that allow pets<\/a> to come along and join in that fun.\u00a0 Some may seem obvious, like dog parks and hiking trails; however, depending on where you now reside, there may be unique attractions<\/a> available that you would not have considered to be pet friendly.\u00a0 Winery tours, whale watching excursions, perusing art museums, apple picking, paddle boarding, panning for gems, and exploring flea markets are just a sampling of some of the \u201cnot-so-obvious\u201d pet friendly things to do with your pet!<\/p>\n

Moving to a new hometown brings about many changes for you and your pet, even when it comes to simply walking around your new neighborhood and meeting the human and furry neighbors.\u00a0 Getting to know the local pet friendly things to do<\/a> will help you and your pet see that change can be great, and together you can experience all that your new hometown has to offer.<\/p>\n
