Puppy Playdates
If Fido likes to have puppy playdates now and again, walk around a neighborhood you’re considering with your furry pal in search of other dogs. Take a lap after work to up your chances of catching dogs out on their evening walks. Evaluate how well your pup engages with other dogs and chat up the owners to get a read on the pet-friendly vibe of the neighborhood. It’s also a good way to gauge how chummy dog owners in the 'hood are too.
