Just Ruff It

If you’re lookin’ for QT with your four-legged bestie (who isn’t), Raleigh’s got no shortage of places to ruff it. Want to pamper your pooch? This trifecta of dog bars, bakeries and dog parks is sure to get a round of a-paws.  

Hause of Dogs
Ready to let the dogs out? Put two paws up for a pet boutique, barkery and birthday paw-ty space—this Smoky Hollow pup oasis is essential paradise for four-legged friends and their companions. And the spot has plans to partner with neighboring businesses for community events such as Doga—aka yoga with shelter dogs roaming between the mats (did all the dog people just let out a collective squeal?!). Smoky Hollow, @hauseofdogsraleigh

West Street Dog

If lil Lucy can hold her licker (had to), trot down the street where happy hour = happy hound at West Street Dog—aka an indoor dog bar (!) with a bonus off-leash dog park… so a pup pourhouse, if you will. For the extra playful pups, doggy day care and evening/weekend social hours serve up extra ops for them to join the pack. Smoky Hollow, @weststdog

Dix Park Dog Park

Dogs “wuv” Dix—esp. romping around unleashed in its size-specific play spaces. And pet parents dig not having to sweat their Pomeranian getting stepped on by a Saint Bernard. Sun’s out, paws out! DTR, dixpark.org
