You know the feeling. As you pick up your keys, another familiar jangle greets you–the sound of your dog’s collar as she snaps up straight to see where you’re going. Then all it takes is one look from those sad glassy eyes and you know you absolutely HAVE to bring her along. If this has ever happened to you, or you’re like us and you want to bring your dog everywhere with you–it’s good to know where pets are allowed to tag along! Good thing Glendale, AZ is full of dog friendly places, no matter what you’re looking to do.
Dog Parks:
What’s more dog friendly than place where your dog can go to make friends?! Glendale, AZhas over ten dog parks to choose from, but we’ll highlight just a few of our favorites here. For the more adventurous pup, Thunderbird Conservation park is an awesome place to stretch your legs and do a little hiking in a desert conservation area. 15 miles of trails zig zag over 1185 acres in Hedgpeth hills. Bring some extra water for you and your dog if you head out for a long hike. For a more low key experience, bring your dog to the very social Sahuaro Ranch Park. With separate areas for dogs of different sizes plus some play equipment, it’s a great place for your dog to safely make some new friends! Check out all of Glendale, AZ‘s local dog parks here.
