Brisbane’s Best Dog Friendly Days Out!

Our favourite city continues to show it’s love for our furry friends with more and more places becoming dog-friendly! Woohoo!

Below is a list of the best dog-friendly venues and experiences that you can enjoy with your best mate.

CITY CAT RIDE – After a successful trial campaign, the Brisbane City Council have decided to permanently allow dogs on city cats! Park at the Kangaroo Point cliffs and take a walk-through South Bank and into the city and jump on a City Cat back at Eagle St Pier and watch your dog enjoy the sensations of being captain of the boat!

(All pups must wear a suitable muzzle to ride.)

SNAG AND BROWN CAFÉ – Annerley’s favourite café Snag and Brown is so dog friendly, that they have a designated dog grassed adventure area at the back of the café. Come for the delicious sourdough and stay for the opportunity to watch your dog race around their designated dog area like a mad-man while you sip your soy latte. https://snagbrown.com.au/

SATURDAY MARKETS – Jan Powers Markets (Powerhouse, New Farm) and the Wes End Markets (Davies Park) are both favourite spots for inner-city Brisbane dogs! Filled with stalls offering gourmet dog treats, designer dog-wear, and never far from a café proudly pouring weekend puppacinos…the markets are a great place to get your dog’s senses working on a lazy Saturday morning. With lots to sniff, taste, and see, your dog is guaranteed to come home enriched and ready for a nap.

PALM BEACH DOG BEACH– Technically not in Brisbane (but not too far from), Palm Beach sports one of SEQ’s best dog off leash beaches. Hit the road early on a Sunday morning, take a ball to watch your pup doggy paddle for it’s retrieval, and let them have their fun digging up the sand.

DOGGY BREED MEETUP– Join the Brisbane Facebook Group of your dog’s breed and watch out for their Meet Up Events! Usually held at a local dog park around Brisbane, Dog Meet Ups are a great way for your dog to socialise with their own kind, for you to chat to owners and get advice on all things breed specific…and who knows, you may even run into your pups pawrents or siblings.

DOG MASSAGE AND DRY NEEDLING– Let your pup experience the ultimate in self-care and book them in for a doggy massage and dry needling session. Active dogs experience muscle tightness and pain just as humans, so a massage and dry needling session is perfect to relieve that tension, decrease stress, and offer your dog a moment of relaxation. https://caninehydrotherapy.net.au/services/
