A Pet Friendly Place
& Best City for Dog Lovers

We make fetch happen. We love your pets as much as you do and there are plenty of reasons why we’re the best city for dog lovers.  There’s room to explore all around Grand Forks county.

Dig around a little and you’ll find miles of pet-friendly trails for you and your pooch to explore, like the Greenway in downtown Grand Forks and the hiking trails of Turtle River State Park.

Looking for a puppy playdate? Check out the Lincoln Park Dog Park or Circle of Friends Humane Society Dog Park and let your pups run free! PetCo also has options every weekend for get togethers. And if your doggo doesn’t like to be home alone, there are doggy daycares where Fido can frolic and play all day long.

Still want more reasons why we’re the best city for dogs? If your best friend wants a little pampering or a night on the town, we’ve got mobile grooming stations, unique and independently owned pet supply stores (Treat Play Love!), local coffee shops that offer puppuccinos (Bully Brew Coffee Shop!), and downtown breweries (Half Brothers Brewing!) with pet-friendly patios.

We know keeping your pets healthy and cared for needs to be top priority, and we’ve got some great veterinarians who can help with both annual check-ups and emergency care alike. And if you have to leave town, don’t worry! Your furry friend will have a ball (or catch one!) at one of our region’s pet boarding places.
