We arranged an introduction before our first service and Sunny loved Faith right away! It was so reassuring to know our girl was going to be in good hands! All subsequent.visits went well and we loved seeing the videos of how Sunny was doing.

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in West Columbia

Mill Village

The historic neighborhood of Mill Village, located on the outer edge of West Columbia, is home to Café Strudel, and if you’re looking for somewhere good to dine with your dog, you’ve found the place! Café Strudel serves up a delicious variety of food, including a dish called the “Hangover Hashbrowns,” which are covered in cheese, peppers, tomatoes, and more. If you’re not feeling that adventurous, they also serve up delicious wraps and omelettes. The best part, though, is that your dog is welcome to join you at one of their outdoor tables! Fido needs to be on his best behavior, though, and a leash is required at all times.

Earlewood

Columbia’s Earlewood neighborhood, located about ten minutes from West Columbia, is home to NOMA Dog Park, and although there’s a small annual fee to use this bark park, your dog will definitely thank you! NOMA – which is short for North Main – Dog Park has separate areas for large and small dogs, allowing your dog to play it safe when it comes to making new friends. They also provide tennis balls for your four-legged friend to play with, and there are even waste-disposal stations in the park. For dog parents, there are plenty of benches to sit on. This is an off-leash park.

Five Points

Just ten minutes from West Columbia is Columbia’s Five Points neighborhood, and while locals boast that this neighborhood is for college students, your dog will have a lot of fun, too! Five Points is home to Emily Douglas Dog Park. This free, off-leash dog park has plenty of room for your pooch to run around and make some pawesome new friends! There’s plenty of seating in the shade for dog parents, and there’s water for your dog in case he gets overheated. This is the area’s only free dog park, so it tends to be very busy.

If you’re looking to grab a bite to eat, check out Michael’s Café and Catering, which serves delicious sandwiches and delectable cakes.
