Henry: The Denver Dog Friendly Guide

Today, this blog post is dedicated to Henry James III. For those of you who don't know Henry -- he is a 6 year old, 8 pound Yorkie with no predecessor, is worthy to be a third and runs our household like he's the boss. He's basically the best dog in the world. This post may be a little shameless as I divulge all the secrets surrounding Henry.

ps. this bowtie is from rover boutique and it's the cutest.

Anyways, let's get to the point. Today, Henry & I are sharing the best dog parts about Denver. One of the coolest parts about living in Denver is that it is 100% dog friendly. From hotels to restaurants to the Home Depot, Henry goes everywhere with us. Don't believe me, he even has a carseat for our adventures.

I told you he had a carseat.

If you're new to Denver or you just need some suggestions as to where your pup can venture, this is the post for you! This is Henry's Dog-Friendly Guide to Denver.

RESTAURANTS:

Denver Beer Company: Beer for you, water bowl for your pups.
Forest Room 5: Such a cool vibe right in the middle of the Highlands.
The Tavern: One of our favs & the patio is awesome.
Lala's Wine Bar Guys, I cannot tell you how awesome this place is.
Squeaky Bean Drag queen bingo on Saturdays? Done.
Wash Park Grille: Another one of our favs.
Baker Street Pub
Black Pearl Restaurant

STORES:

Home Depot
Michaels
Hobby Lobby
Nordstrom
Urban Outfitters
Sheplers
Petsmart & Petco (obvs)
LUSH cosmetics
Barnes and Noble

PARKS & HIKES:

HOTELS:

The Doubletree in Breckenridge
The Curtis, a Doubletree hotel

Ps. I understand that sometimes dogs are not ideal companions for certain activities: work, the symphony, a Broncos game. So, in those rare instances, I have the perfect website for you to find dog boarding and pet sitting. Check out Rover.com to find your dogs perfect match! They also have great local dog boarding options right here in Denver!

Thanks to Henry's guide, everyone can hang with their dog in Denver.

To commemorate, this tee is made by Daily Tay, you should get one!

What did I miss? What are your favorite places to go with your dog?

I wish that Houston was as dog friendly as Denver because I would love to take my pup with me everywhere I go! Henry looks extra dapper in his bow tie, and Taylor's dog shirt is seriously the best!

SO CUTE! We eventually want to wind up in Colorado Springs -- I love hearing about the dog friendliness of Denver. We've currently got 2 big dogs (we're talking close to a total of 200 lbs. of dog!) I'd love to be able to take them both with us everywhere, but they almost need their own time zone! Maybe we need a nice tiny friend!

What a cool post! While I don't have a dog, and I haven't yet been to Denver (except the airport), I love that these locations are dog-friendly! I think it says a lot about these businesses. And the beer company that provides water bowls! I think this just all around makes Denver a more friendly place to be. I can't wait to make a visit - I keep hearing such great things.

I love this! We went to Denver Beer Co. a few years ago & I thought it was so awesome that people could bring their dogs. We don't have anything like that around here... :(

This is quite possibly the cutest post ever! I have one of those "I just want to hang with my dog" shirts too -- it's one of my very favorites!

This is great. I think it is super for new folks in town to know where to go! I don't own a dog and I love going to dog parks!

A dog feeder is a convenient and practical device for pet owners, automating the feeding process and ensuring that your furry friend is well-nourished even when you're away. It's a time-saving solution that offers peace of mind and helps maintain a regular feeding routine for your canine companion.
