Pack up your pooch and head over to Mill Stream Run Reservation for some pupperific outdoor recreation. Nestled in the vicinity of Pearl Road and Albion Road, this massive natural area is a perfect place for your canine companion to get some exercise. Two legged guests can choose from horseback riding, mountain biking, boating and paddle sports. Leashed four legged friends can sniff their way through the trails or stop to listen for birds and squirrels. There are plenty of picnic spots to choose from, so bring a lunch and stay a while. No bones about it, your pup will love this park!

If your furry friend is looking a little shaggy, Strongsville City Center has a couple pawsome grooming options. The folks at Pampered Pooch Pet Grooming are ready to spruce your pup up to the nines!  Book a Basic Groom package and your canine pal will get washed, dried, and clipped, and may walk away with a bandana or bow. If she’s feeling edgy, she can also get a funky dye job, creative hair cut or polished nails. Darling Doggies Pet Grooming also specializes in making your pup look her best. Stop by for the works and she’ll be ready to win Best In Show!

The Prospect Road and Royalton Road neighborhood is home to Volunteer Park. Clip on your pup’s leash and take a trip to this park for some much needed doggy exercise. Get your furry friend’s heart rate pumping as you do some laps on the paved walking path. Or just mosey through the grassy field and let him discover some new smells. Since this park has batting cages, horseshoe pits and Bocce Ball courts, your canine companion will have ample opportunity to socialize with new two legged friends. Foltz Park is just across the street and provides more walking area. There are plenty of shade trees, so be sure to stop if your pup needs a rest!
