The weather is finally amazing – it’s the perfect time to get outside with your dog and make the most of it. But are you scratching your head, wondering activities both you and your dog can do together? Not to worry, we’ve come up with a 7 fun things to do with your dog this summer.

1. Go for a swim. Take you dog to the lake and play fetch in the water. Some cities even have their own dedicated dog beaches and swim areas, where you can let your dog off leash to frolic in the sand and water. Take your dog in the morning or late afternoon when it’s not too hot out.

2. Run through the sprinkler. If your dog’s not a swimmer or there’s no lake close to you, a sprinkler is the next best thing. Revert back to your childhood and show your dog how it’s done.

3. Take a road trip. Hit the open road with your furry partner in crime and see where it takes you. Perhaps it’s a visit to friends in another city you haven’t seen in a while. Or perhaps it’s to a place you’ve always wanted to explore. It doesn’t matter – but call ahead to ensure that any overnight accommodations you make allow for dogs. There are plenty out there. The number of pet-friendly hotels, resorts and bed and breakfasts are always growing, thanks to all the pet parents out there who travel everywhere with their dogs!
