Opportunities for Summer Activities with our Pets

Summer has finally arrived and we all want to shed those winter blues. What better way to do this than by getting up off of our comfortable couches and out to enjoy some summer fun activities with our pets. Here in the Delaware/Maryland region we have many exciting trails and beaches to explore. There are boating activities, sporting events, and the occasional pet parade or festival. Any of these choices would be an awesome opportunity to spend some quality time with our furry, four legged family members. Once your dog’s vaccines and parasite control have been updated, you are ready to begin your summer adventure challenge.  So what’s out there in your area and how do you get started? Here are some links to a few organizations and pet friendly destinations locally.

Getting out of the house and taking advantage of all that is available in our area will benefit both you and your dog. Being active and involved, especially with a buddy, is just what the doctor ordered for everyone’s overall physical and mental well being. All it takes is a phone call, email, or scenic drive to begin the adventure.
