Although the muttropolis of Los Angeles is just a half-hour drive away, Cerritos is home to a few dog-friendly amenities of its own. There are 13 restaurants here that welcome your dog to dine, as well as a nice trail where you can burn those extra calories after chowing down with your hound. All restaurants in Cerritos provide outdoor seating so you and your furry friend are comfortable.
Romano’s Macaroni Grill is an excellent place for you and your pup to enjoy a meal together. This restaurant is highly rated thanks to its friendly staff and accommodations for pets and owners. The wait staff will bring your canine companion a bowl of water while you browse the diverse menu here.

With so many dog-friendly places and spaces, it's clear that Cerritos takes good care of its dogs and their owners!
This pawesome neighborhood has an amazing trail for you and your canine friend to check out. The San Gabriel River Trail stretches out over 38 miles. The trail is paved, so you'll need to keep an eye on your pooch's paws on hot days. Although it's long, this trail is an easy hike for you and your furry friend. There are restrooms and some shade along the way. You will want to bring extra water and doggie bags for clean up. Some parts of the trail are scenic, so be sure to grab a trail map to find the points of interest. Grab your pup’s leash and see how far you can get on this trail!
Rosie’s Dog Beach, located in Belmont Shores, is just 14 miles from Cerritos and is a pawpular destination that attracts pooches from all over! This beach has a designated section where dogs are allowed to play off-leash in the soft sand and gentle surf. Your pooch will love splashing in the water and cooling off. You will need to bring something for shade, along with water and doggie waste bags for cleaning up. This beach has free parking and metered parking available, but the free parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. Head out early in the day to nab some free parking and avoid the crowds!
Smack dab in the middle of LA's world-famous Hollywood Hills neighborhood, located just 21 miles from Cerritos, you'll find a furrific place to get some exercise. The designated dog park at Runyon Canyon Park covers a whopping 90 acres. Your furry friend could spend all day here and not even explore all of the terrain! For a more relaxed adventure, leash up and hit the walking trails. Even though the park offers water and waste stations along the way, it's always a good idea to bring some extra supplies. Bring a camera, because you'll get a great view of the Hollywood sign from this park!
Huntington Dog Beach is a pawpular dog beach that's located just 18 miles from Cerritos. Your pooch is welcome to feel the sand and surf in his fur at this off-leash beach! There are usually lots of other dogs to play with here, but there's also plenty of room for one-on-one play if your pup is shy. The water is easily accessible, and the sand is soft -- just mind your pup's paws on hot days. Keep in mind there is not much shade here, so you will want to bring an umbrella, extra water, and some doggie waste bags. Oh, and don't fur-get Fido's favorite toy!
