A great activity for every dog and their owner is heading down to the local dog park. Dog parks are a great place to meet new people, as well as let your best friend make a few new friends.

Not sure where to go? Our friends over at doggeek.com have you covered with a pretty good index of nationwide dog parks.  When you go out to though, it is also a good idea to keep a few simple things in mind.  First, Make sure your dog is immunized and healthy.  It can be very dangerous to have an unhealthy dog running around with other pups.  Next, keep an eye on the temperature and be careful about taking a female dog out in the heat. This can be very irresponsable especially if there are un-neutered males around. Also, keep in mind that every park is a bit different so check the posted rules at each park before entering, and don’t forget to clean up after your pet!
