BYO-Dog Tour

This award-winning 160-acre park is home of the largest off-leash dog exercise area in all of Dane County.

The Prairie Moraine Dog Park in Verona, WI features a 75.9-acre off-leash dog park that is a community favorite and frequently wins local "best dog park' contests. You can also roam an extensive network of dog-friendly (and dog-approved) hiking trails too.

Check out Verona’s newest pet supply for dogs, cats, and small animals – Tabby & Jacks Pet Supplies. Snag some toys, pick up some puppy treats, and browse their wide selection of dog clothes, gear, and accessories.

What's better than a pint of happiness and your pup? Not much, we'd say. Head to Lake Louie Brewing with your dog, friends, and family for a beer and one of the best lake-side views in town. Their dog-friendly patio is a prime spot for relaxing in the summertime or on chilly nights too next to their bonfire pits.

In the heart of downtown Mount Horeb, hit up the Sunn Cafe pup-friendly patio. This local favorite serves up soup, sandwiches, and tons of snacks out of their charming cafe. Dogs and their families are welcome to enjoy the patio during their visit.

Bring a bone for your dog to enjoy on the dog-friendly patio while you sip on a cold cider at Brix Cider, a Farm-to-Table cider house and restaurant with food sourced from local farms. In the heart of Mount Horeb, this hometown favorite makes artisanal hard cider from Wisconsin apples and fruits.

Take your pup to Icki Sticki in Mount Horeb on Tuesdays to enjoy a free Pup Cup with any purchase. Their pup cups are made with homemade whipped cream & and dog biscuit topping!

Humans will love their delectable treats too – from shaved ice and ice cream to creamy coffee creations.

This pub and grill has a designated “Woof Zone" for dogs on their back patio. Tofflers Pub & Grill in downtown New Glarus serves up local beers, good food, family dining, and live music during most evenings.

Not only does this local taproom have "dog" in the name but the Dirty Dog Taphaus is 100% dog-friendly too out on their large outdoor patio. You (and your pup) can soak in Swiss history at this local watering hole while having full view of the heartbeat of downtown New Glarus. Choose from 30 self-pour taps of beers – and they also serve up Wisconsin bar food classics like brats, cheese curds, and pretzel bites too.

Check out the beautiful Bailey's Run Vineyard & Winery in New Glarus with an expansive dog-friendly outdoor space including a covered roof patio and massive lawn. During the warmer months you can listen to live music while soaking in the view over the vineyard.

The winery is proudly named after the owner's puppy mascot, Bailey– a golden-doodle that mom (Janet) and dad (Todd) lovingly brought home from Fairbault, MN at 8 weeks old. You’ll see Bailey roaming around the winery and vineyard from time to time in the daring hunt for someone to share their cheese and sausage with her.

Just on the outskirts of Sugar River Valley you can head to Sunnyside Dog Park. Here you'll find a large, grassy park – the perfect place for "Fido" to enjoy new scents, play fetch, or meet new dog friends.
