Dog Walking in Thibodaux

Well-known as a massive sugar plantation, the city of Thibodaux benefits from the Spanish and French Creoles' rich cultural influence, and is now a great place to relax and learn some history. Thibodaux is located in the heart of Cajun Country, on the banks of Bayou Lafourche, and offers unique outdoor activities, extremely delicious local food, and much more! No need to leave your pooch behind if you're planning to visit. The city is home to at least three veterinary clinics, and much more are located in the surrounding areas of New Orleans, which is about an hour ride east.

Set on the northern bank of Bayou Lafourche and not far from the city center, Norman Swanner Dog Park, right next to Adley Landry Water Reservoir Museum, is a well-maintained, off-leash fenced dog park in Thibodaux. The place features two separate areas for small and large breeds, and an amazing spot to socialize and make new canine friends. You will find drinking water fountains for both human and pups, clean-up stations with disposal bags, and benches where you can relax and enjoy a beautiful day out watching your mutt going wild.

Finding a dog-friendly café is always an adventure, but in Thibodaux, you won't have to wander the streets aimlessly looking for something suitable. If you're not interested in fast food or drive-thrus, then pay a visit to Santa Fe Cattle Co., which is a casual steakhouse with a dog-friendly attitude and outdoor tables for your pooch’s comfort.
