Philadelphia Dog Parks and Other Things Philly Dogs Need
Philly Dogs have a lot of great resources, from dog parks, to good dog boarding and walking services and great groomers, Philly has it going on for the dogs.
Philadelphia Dog Parks
Most Philly dog parks are neighborhood centered and membership based to cover the costs of insurance and maintenance. Ranging in size and varying from a dog "run" to a more park-like setting, dog parks are a great place for you and your pooch to socialize.
Just be aware:Every dog park has a major rule of no aggressive dogs or dogs in heat. But then, you knew that.
