Summer is the perfect time to explore the city with your dog. Not only will they appreciate the exercise and socialization, but it will also provide you with a bonding experience. This summer, there are plenty of dog-friendly events around Cincinnati, so after picking up your furry friend from pet day care, head out to enjoy the weather together.

Top 3 Summer Dog Events in Cincinnati

1. Pets in Need Ice Cream Social

Pets in Need is a nonprofit organization that works to provide essential veterinary resources to low-income households. On Sunday, July 15, they will be holding the 2nd Annual Ice Cream Social, a free community event open to people and well-behaved dogs on non-retractable leashes. In addition to food, games, and music, SPCA Cincinnati will have adoptable pets for those looking to welcome another furry friend into their home.  

2. My Furry Valentine

For multi-pet households looking to add another family member, My Furry Valentine is a perfect opportunity to see if your dog will get along with their future friend. The largest companion animal adoption event in the Greater Cincinnati area is preparing to have its first ever summer event at the Sharonville Convention Center on August 18 and 19. If you choose to adopt, don’t forget to let your pet day care center know they can expect an additional guest.

3. Dog Days of Summer

You'll see plenty of events with similar names throughout the year, but only one is host to the 2018 Wiener Dog Nationals. At this event, you can watch a bunch of speedy dachshunds race when the Belterra Park Gaming Dog Days of Summer event goes down on September 8. This pet-friendly gathering isn't just about watching the fastest wiener dogs in Cincinnati; there are also special just-for-fun races in store for toy and mixed breed dogs. 

Summer is a great time to find fun events for the whole family, so don't forget to bring your dog along. After a day of fun with the family, your dog will love relaxing and socializing with other animals at pet day care at Robinwood Kennel. Based in Highland Heights, KY, their center is minutes away from Northern Kentucky University and about 15 minutes from downtown Cincinnati. Whether you need dog boarding or pet day care services, Joe, Carol, and Peggy will help you take care of your furry friend with love and affection. Check out their website for more information about dog boarding, and call them at (859) 781-2352 to make an appointment today.
