The Seacoast is going to the dogs! We love our four-legged family members, and it's always fun to take them to new places. Here are some upcoming Seacoast events, along with patios and dog parks where well-behaved dogs are welcome.
Should you take your dog?
Before choosing to take your dog out and about in the Seacoast consider whether your dog (and you!) will have a good experience. Typically, well-behaved, socialized dogs who are comfortable around people and other dogs are ideal for these settings. Ensuring your dog is friendly, leash-trained, and non-disruptive will help everyone enjoy their time. Always check specific venue policies and consider your dog's temperament to ensure a pleasant outing for all.
