The best dog friendly neighborhoods in Novato

Central Novato

Central Novato is home to many dogs. Dogs and their people look for those opportunities for some outdoor walking. Scenic walking or hiking is available in the numerous parks closeby. Lee Gerner Park, Slade Park, and Scottsdale Pond are a short drive away from home. These parks give dogs a chance to let their fur down and take a good walk on leash with their favorite human. Dogs in need of grooming after that walk can get it at Perro’s Grooming at 208 Vintage. Perro’s can take a bit off the top, or just give a soothing bath and comb.

Northwest

The Northwest neighborhood is home to Dogbone Meadow. Dogbone Meadow is a dog park located in O’Hair Public Park. Dogbone is an enclosed grassy dog park built along a hillside. The area is about the size of a football field, with an enclosure for large dogs and one for small. Dogs enjoy ruff-housing on the agility equipment, and water bowls are provided. Human companions are treated with some nearby seating, and some handy waste bags and receptacles. The only other thing you need to fully enjoy this park is Fido’s favorite toy!
