Bark parks provide a wonderful opportunity for your dog to socialize, romp, and stretch his legs when you are traveling. A few simple guidelines will ensure a pleasurable, safe visit for you and your canine companion.

Tips for Visiting California Bark Parks

• Make sure that your dog is wearing a current license, has all its required, up-to-date vaccinations and that you have a copy of a current rabies vacination certicate with you.
  
  
• Keep your dog on a leash until you get to a designated off-leash area (if available).

• Bring your own poop bags, in case they aren't supplied, and immediately clean up after your dog.
  
  
• Bring lots of fresh drinking water for you and your dog. Sun and fun both require lots of hydration.

• Read and follow the posted rules, as they vary from Bark Park to Bark Park
  
  
• Relax and enjoy the visit. Meeting other "pet parents" at a Bark Park is a great way to gather insider tips for visiting their area.
