Introduction
When thinking about where to go for some fun-filled vacation with your dog, you might want to consider checking out Wyoming. Also called the “big sky country”, the state can serve as an enormous playground for you and your four-legged friend. Wyoming is home to two of the United States’ most prominent national parks and several other hiking trails that are dog-friendly. Aside from the outdoors, there are other places to check out with your pooch, from canine specialty facilities to dog-friendly places and establishments. If you live in Wyoming or are planning to make the state your next holiday destination, check out the following activities that you can try with your dog alongside you.
Visit Jackson
In the western area of Wyoming, you will find a small town called Jackson. Even though the entire state of Wyoming is very welcoming towards dogs, Jackson is known to have a lot in store for dogs and their owners. If you are short on time and would like to focus on one area in Wyoming, then Jackson should definitely be your choice. The town has several spots and places where you can bring your dogs, especially canines who are always up for lively adventures. The famous Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park are some of the top attractions that you should certainly have to pay a visit to.Â
Go to Hydro Hounds
If you want to go to a place that is particularly built with dogs in mind, then you are in luck because you can go visit Hydro Hounds in the city of Laramie. Hydro Hounds is a service-oriented facility that specially caters to dogs. In here, canines are brought for rehabilitation, entertainment or exercise purposes. As its name suggests, the facility makes use of a temperature controlled aquatic environment to serve the needs of its canine guests. This environment is created through a swimming pool, where dogs enter either through a ramp or by being carried into the pool. Whatever the purpose of your visit is, Hydro Hounds is surely worth visiting during your time in Wyoming.
Wyoming's Top Dog Parks
Although two of the most renowned national parks in the United States are located in Wyoming, they unfortunately have some strict rules in effect when it comes to bringing your dogs. In Yellowstone National Park, visitors are only allowed to bring their dogs into certain areas. Meanwhile, in Grand Teton National Park, the rules are less strict as dog owners may bring their leashed dogs anywhere in the park except for the hiking trails. Luckily, there are several other dog parks that you may check out with your pooch. In fact, just about every city in Wyoming has a dog park offers a public dog park or designated dog area, including the main cities such as Casper, Sheridan, Cheyenne, Rock Springs and Cody.Â
