When summer hits, the best thing to do is to cool off at the beach. This rule applies not only to humans but our furry friends as well. Dogs love the water and the great outdoors. While many places are welcoming of dogs, not every place is. It’s good to know where you can take your pet.
Here are a few places for you and your dog in Orlando, Florida.
Windermere Farmers Market- the sights! The smells! The craziness! This is how your dog might feel at this particular place. Open each Friday from 9 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon, this market welcomes dogs and their people. Do keep your dog on a leash and then explore to your heart’s content. From fresh produce to dog stuff, there’s a lot to choose from here. This romantic-sounding space is indeed a pleasure to all the senses for both.
