If your family and friends are starting
to think your love for your dog is a little
unhealthy, it's time to expand your social
circle and meet others whose smartphones
are just as packed with puppy portraits.
Meetups, facilitated locally through
meetup.com, are a great way to build
friendships with fellow dog-minded
Charlotteans. Depending on your interests,
join groups, like the Charlotte Run with
Your Dog meetup or the Dogs and Drinks
meetup. If you're particularly proud of your
pooch's refned heritage, try joining groups
like the Charlotte Pug meetup or the
Charlotte Standard Poodle meetup.
Afer a day of activities, extra-good boys
and girls deserve a trip to Canine Café.
Te store features an on-site, dog-friendly
bakery as well as all-natural dog food
and pet supplies. Humans celebrate their
birthdays, so why shouldn't dogs? When
your pup's special day rolls around, Canine
Café will customize a cake, right down to a
fre hydrant design, just for the occasion.
When work or vacations call you away,
you want to make sure your dog is well
cared for. Tanks to Charlotte's luxe
lodging options, like Pet Paradise, he or
she will probably consider it a spa vacation.
Here Fido can enjoy lounging in a bone-
shaped pool, relaxing at story time and
socializing with other dogs. Live webcams
even make it possible for protective owners
to check in on their beloved pups at any
time, guaranteeing peace of mind. For
