Dog Friendly Places in NW Arkansas

Like many of us, our 4 legged friends are part of the family so we are always looking for dog friendly places in NW Arkansas. We want to bring them everywhere we go but it is often difficult  because not all business are pet friendly. However, if you are like me, I plan my weekends based on where Birdie, my Mini Aussie, and I will BOTH be welcome. Here is a list of dog friendly places in NW Arkansas. Hope to see you there.

Stores

1. Lowes, Home Depot and Tractor Supply: Not only does Lowes, HD, and TS allow pets, they welcome with with open arms and TREATS! The employees are happier to see Biride than they are me! This is also a great place for walkies when it is too cold/hot outside and your pup needs to burn off the energy.
2. Pinnacle Hills Promenade: Located in Rogers. The Promenade is dog-friendly! Now you and your dog can both shop ’til you drop! Just be mindful of other shoppers. Sadly not everyone loves your dog as much as you do. Some of the stores themselves are not dog friendly so be sure to have someone with you to watch your pup outside if you need to go in.
3. Downtown Fayetteville: Most Saturdays during the farmer’s market, the shops in every city usually expect plenty of canines to make their way into the stores, so it’s pretty much common practice now.
4. Lewis and Clark Outfitters: Located at 4915 S. Thompson, Springdale. This shop offers a full bike shop, outdoor gear, and rock climbing wall.
5. Beautiful Lives Boutique– This is a great store with or without a pet. It a woman’s 2nd hand store with upscale clothing all donated and proceeds going to several non profit organizations that benefit the lives of other women. This store is located on Township just west of College. Other locations in Siloam Springs and Bentonville.
6. PetsMart, Petco- Although this is obvious, it shouldn’t be left off our list and should be a must stop on your special day with your dog!
7. Academy Sports – A national chain that offers all types of outdoor gear and sporting equipment.
