Whether you are just visiting for a fun weekend getaway or you are a full-time Bostonian, Boston is a great place to hang out with your pet. Not only can you take your dog to one of the many off-leash dog parks, but when you get hungry, you and your dog can sample the local cuisine at one of these 7 dog-friendly restaurants in Boston.
Before heading out to be social with your furry friend, double-check that your pup is healthy and up-to-date on their vaccinations before socializing with other dogs. If you are looking for a veterinarian in Boston, our mobile team will come to you. Schedule a same-day or next-day home visit or a telemedicine appointment if your pet isn’t feeling well or you have questions or concerns.
