Just like us, our four legged friends need a Dog Park to spread their doggy wings and run free. For us city dwellers, we are lucky to have great options for off leash dog parks. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, you will find me out there giving my K9s a place to enjoy.

Final Thoughts on Dog Parks in Boise
If you love your dog as much as I do, I love getting them out and about, running jumping and playing. Boise has some of the best dog parks around and if you are out there, look for me, I will probably be playing with my pup at one of these amazing dog parks,
After all the playing and mid slinging, be sure to check out one of Boise’s best Dog Groomers. Squeaky clean dog has its benefits too (wink).
As always, please send over your thoughts and feedback, Cheers!
