Bolt and I posing for our Dog Friendly St Pete debut

A Passion for Dogs and St Pete

I’ve always loved exploring St. Petersburg with my beautiful long-haired Golden Retriever, Max. From parks and beaches to cafes and restaurants, our city has a wealth of places for us to enjoy together. Even though St Pete is the most dog-friendly city in America, I realized that finding current information about these locations might be difficult, and I assumed that other pet owners were in the same boat.

That’s when the idea for this blog was born. I wanted to create a one-stop resource for St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay, showcasing not only the best dog-friendly dining spots, but also other businesses, groups, and events that cater to our canine companions. Whether you’re a local or just visiting our beautiful city, we aim to help you discover the perfect experiences for you and your furry friend.

Our Mission

Our mission here is straightforward: to celebrate and promote dog friendly businesses in our community. We believe that our four-legged friends deserve to be a part of all of our adventures, and we are working hard to create a comprehensive guide for pup owners who want to explore St. Pete with their pets by their side. From cozy cafés to upscale restaurants, we cover a wide range of establishments to cater to varying tastes and preferences.

St. Petersburg is well-known for its vibrant arts, waterfront parks, and world-class dining, but it also has a thriving dog loving community. Our city is filled with wonderful people who recognize the importance of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for our four-legged friends, and we are here to celebrate and promote those efforts.
While restaurants are a major focus of our blog, Max and I cover a wide variety of pup friendly activities and businesses. Max and I are dedicated to providing you with the most comprehensive and up-to-date information about St. Petersburg’s pet friendly scene.

Our reviews and articles are designed to help you make informed decisions about where to go and what to do with your pup in St. Petersburg. In addition to detailed reviews of restaurants, cafes, and bars, we also feature profiles of other dog friendly businesses, interviews with local pet professionals, and guides to pet friendly events and activities in St. Pete.
