Dog people in Scottsdale, Arizona have lots of activities to choose from when they want to spend time with their best friends. When conditions allow, outdoor patios offer good dog-human dining opportunities, and outdoorspeople can enjoy hikes with adventurous pups in various parks—just check the specifics and make sure it’s safe and appropriate for your particular dog. In the summer months, of course, you’ll need to avail yourselves of air conditioning and keep your dog away from the dangerous heat—and that goes double for brachycephalic breeds.<\/p>
This month, we’re highlighting some of our dog-friendly partners and special events in Scottsdale. Here’s what we want you to know.<\/p>
