Does your Dalmatian love to play in the water and sand? If so, you may be looking for a dog friendly beach or waterfront where you and your dog can play and spend time outdoors on the water. Many area beaches allow for dogs to be on the beach at set times of the year. For instance, when beaches are less frequented in the water because of weather, the beach may be open to dogs on leash. Beaches that have visitors year round often set aside designated areas where dogs are allowed to play in the sand and water. These areas usually require the dog to be on leash. Owners must also pick up after their dogs to keep the beach clean. Check with local beach park officials to find out which beaches in your area allow dogs. Your Flint, MI veterinary clinic team may also know of beaches open to dogs. Learn more here.
