Pet Friendly Spots

There’s no need to leave your best friend behind when you embark on a LivCo getaway!

The dog days of summer may be over, but your pup is welcome during all seasons in LivCo! With miles of open spaces, public parks, waterways, and pet-friendly businesses, you never have to leave your favorite furry friend at home again.

Luckily for us, the Genesee River Valley is home to a bunch of dog-friendly hiking trails, shops, restaurants, breweries, and patios to choose from on those days that make you excited to hang out with your canine companion (and maybe even your friends and family). When bringing your pooch out in public, please keep your dog's personality in mind, be respectful of the place you’re in, and the people around you.

It’s the perfect time of year to get outdoors and who better to spend it with than your favorite furry friend. Yes, we are talking about that little doggo of yours.
