THINGS TO DO WITH YOUR DOG THIS MAY

los angeles dog events may 2018

You know those days where you finally have the time to do something fun, but you can't seem to think of ANYTHING to do for the life of you? I've been there plenty of times!

I'm sure you can also relate to only wanting to go somewhere if you could bring your dog along. I mean, we leave them for work all week so we might as well hang out on our free time, right!? 

I'm right there with you and this month we’re in luck because Los Angeles is packed with fun dog activities to keep you and your best friend busy. 

Sniff through this list of tail-wagging dog events and make sure to bark your calendar!
