Top 10 dog-friendly spots in Colorado - Spring/Summer 2019
Colorful Colorado, the state that’s perfect for adventuring with your pup. There are beautiful trails to explore, mountains to climb, and fields to frolic in, but what else is there to do with your best furry friend? Colorado has some hidden doggo-friendly gems - the question is, which one will you choose?
Bar Hopping
Need a drinking buddy? Or a really cute wingman? Romero's K9 Club & Tap House might be the perfect fit for you. Not only is there local brew, but there is a dog park right outside for play! Before going, make sure to register your dogs and designate a driver!

Cool Off in the Pool
If your dog likes to get his paws wet, be sure to swing by this indoor pool for a swimmingly good time. The Canine and Conditioning Rehabilitation Group (CRCG) has daily open pools for both social and shy pups. Watch or join your dogs while they play with pool toys, learn how to swim, or just hang out with their new buddies.

It is a MUST to explore the lakes and reservoirs of Colorado. Your dog will thank you for it too! Nothing beats kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding in either the Boulder Reservoir, Gross Reservoir or MacIntosh Lake. Be sure to equip your pup with a doggie life jacket, and you’re good to go!

Get Golden
Travel to the former gold rush town at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Golden, Colorado.

Kayak down the white waters, or drift along with your pup shoreside. Nothing beats a river day in the summer with your family! Dogs are allowed to swim and play in the creek, so why not let them cool off in the great outdoors.
