Dog Walking in Sturgis

Sturgis is in Meade County on the northern end of the Black Hills, just minutes from rolling hills and rocky granite peaks. What this small town is famously known for, however, is the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Every August, thousands of motorcyclists gather for 10 days, turning Sturgis into one giant party with concerts, rides, and street fairs. But this community doesn’t just love Hogs- it also loves dogs! Two local vets keep the local and visiting canine population healthy and happy.

It’s no secret that dogs love parks. Sturgis has some pawsome parks just calling your pup’s name. Grab her leash and head over to the City Municipal Park where she can sniff her way around the grassy area. The mature trees make this park nice and cool in the summer. Bring some water, snacks, and biscuits for your pooch, and hang out for a bit.

If Sturgis is just a stop on your itinerary, make a reservation at one of the pet friendly hotels in town. Best Western Sturgis Inn gladly welcomes four legged guests, even those on the larger side. Your dog can also drift off to dreamland at Holiday Inn Express and Suites Sturgis. If you are traveling in an RV, check out Bulldog Creek Campground.

With so many furrific options, this town will make your pup feel like a canine King!
