Houston rolls out the red carpet for families and their pets, and there are plenty of amazing parks to explore while you’re here. Head to Bay Area Dog park, which features separated fenced-in areas for big and small pups. This scenic park overlooks Armand Bayou and offers lots of open space, benches, and shady trees to run and play. Millie Bush Dog Park has multiple ponds for swimming and cooling off in the Houston sun, as well as trails, grassy areas, benches, and fountains. The open off-leash areas are great for burning off some of that puppy energy.

Discovery Green is a 12-acre park nestled in the heart of downtown Houston with something for the whole family. There’s a playground, a lake and small and large dog runs. Restaurants surround the park where you can grab a bite, and an amphitheater and public art installations make this a purr-fect way to enjoy the great outdoors while taking in stunning views of the city skyline.

The true beauty of Texas is on full display at The Houston Arboretum & Nature Center, where a 155-acre nature sanctuary is open to visitors and their dogs. Explore more than five miles of beautiful trails through forests, flower meadows, and preserved wetlands. The area is brimming with wildlife, native trees, and fascinating plant life. You may not think of the beach when you think of Houston, but unexpected ocean fun is just a short drive away. The warm Texas weather makes an afternoon adventure to Galveston, a neat getaway to the sand and sea. Here, miles of pristine coastline invite you and your pooch to frolic in the waves. Galveston Island is a pet lover’s dream and the perfect place to let the ocean breeze run through your hair—and Fido’s fur.

Canine enthusiasts can enjoy The Houston World Series of Dog Shows, an annual week of dog festivities hosted every summer. Enter your perfect pooch into contests and watch breed judging, art shows, and dog competitions. Another seasonal favorite is the “Dog Day” celebration at Minute Maid Park. Cheer on the Astros, the hometown Major League Baseball team, while watching the game and meeting furry friends. No trip to Houston would be complete without sampling some of the city’s famous culinary delights, and there’s no shortage of dog-friendly destinations. Enjoy cold brews on pet-friendly patios, order some authentic barbeque, and sip on locally made wine. After exploring the incredible food scene, don’t miss a howling good time at Hermann Park, where outdoor concerts and performances are open to you and your pooch.
