Unleash Yourself! Discover a Dog-Friendly Durham
We get it – the pet parents among us have longer lists and fuller suitcases when we travel … ones that include leashes, bowls, and chew toys that our furry families can’t go without.

Getting your pup in the back seat is the first step, but what about when you arrive on location? Here in Durham you need not leave your pets on the curb – we invite you to bring them into the heart of your adventures! Read on ... we’re out to prove that Durham is as pet-friendly a community as they come.
Where to Stay (stay ... good dog!)
You've been traveling in eager anticipation of your arrival ... and you've finally made it! Where should you stay? Durham has delightful accommodations for both you and your pet, including many close to the action.
The Unscripted Durham Hotel and 21c Museum Hotel feature eclectic decor, delicious treats and complete permission to pamper your pooch in plush pillows and comforters. The Residence Inn Duke University Medical Center is a short walk to Duke and downtown attractions, and if you're into sitting poolside with your pup, feel free to stay at The Comfort Inn RTP, which is conveniently close to shopping at The Streets at Southpoint.
Where to Drink
When you're ready to seize the day, there’s much to experience with your pets in tow, especially at indoor/ outdoor breweries that also host delicious food and drink for the humans in your pack to enjoy. Ponysaurus Brewing Company features a predominantly grassy space furnished with long picnic tables and umbrellas, perfect for children and pups to play safely. Fullsteam Brewery also boasts an integrated area to have your pups socialize and drink… from their very own dog bowls, of course! Durty Bull Brewery features an extensive sour beer program, but is also host to an expansive outdoor area to make soaking up the rays the best part of the day.
Where to Eat
Breweries aren’t the only place to pamper your pooch – especially with summer right around the corner. Restaurants like Bull City Burger and Brewery have outdoor spaces where pets can take a load off while you recharge.
Where to Go
What’s more – spaces like American Tobacco Campus invite pet owners to bring pets large and small to enjoy the lawn and the various events that take place throughout the year. The weekly Durham Farmers’ Market and frequent Central Park performances are free for pets to enjoy as well.

Durham’s outdoor spaces are waiting. Take your pup for a leash free romp at the Durham, Northgate, Piney Wood and West Village dog parks, or even better – for a walk downtown, a hike at Eno River State Park, or bike ride on the American Tobacco Trail.
Studious Pooches
Duke University has a Canine Cognition Center which studies assistance dogs. And the best news is they want you to help play with the puppies. They need as much socialization as possible. If you would like to volunteer, send a message to the Duke Canine Cognition account on Instagram and if the puppies are awake, you can play with them.
