Dog Appreciation Day is August 26th and what better way to celebrate than taking your furry friend on a date to one of Charleston’s pet-friendly attractions! There’s no shortage of dog-friendly activities in the area so we’ve narrowed down the selection to a few local favorites:

Hampton Dog Park

This park boasts a large off-leash area where your pup can run free with his or her pals. There’s plenty of room for their favorite games, like catch, shade for when the sun is too bright and water for the thirsty pups. Hampton Dog Park also offers benches so you can relax while your pup makes friends.

James Island County Park

James Island County Park offers two different dog parks, one for small dogs and another for large dogs, but has one big lake for your best pal to enjoy a nice swim. To dry off they can run free in the off-leash areas and enjoy spending time on the beach with their other furry pals.

Wag-n-Splash

Wag-n-Splash is a fun, casual environment for the water loving dog. The facility has a heated salt water pool and trainers so all dogs with any level of swimming experience are welcome. Not only will your dog wag with joy, they’ll benefit from such a great workout and build muscles while reducing stress on their bones and joints.

Isle of Palms or Sullivans Island

The beach is the perfect spot for you and your pup to both enjoy the ocean breeze. No tanning for your furry friend though, leashed dogs are only allowed after 6 PM. So take them on an evening stroll before heading home to cuddle up.

Woof Gang Bakery

Just a fifteen minute drive from the beach,Woof Gang Bakery is located in Downtown, Charleston on King Street. Here you can treat your furry friend with a present and sweet treat after your evening stroll. They’ll be drooling with joy!

Dog-friendly and laid-back is an understatement when it comes to Mainland Container Co. in Mt. Pleasant. Many times a dog-friendly location has outside seating and a water bowl or two, but Mainland Container Co. has a section of their menu specifically for your four-legged companion, specifically a grilled, unseasoned chicken breast or a burger cut into bite-sized pieces.

The rest of the menu is pretty far-reaching, with a mix of current farm-to-table trends and greasy bar fare. The five golf ball sized hush puppies are delicious. They are served with hot pepper jelly and pimento cheese. Said cheese is to die for, smooth and mild with chunks of cream cheese in the mix. The servers also recommend the Caprese-stuffed avocado, a mix of avocado and the traditional salad from Capri.

Mainland Container Co.’s ambitious menu may be overwhelming, but it will not disappoint you or your furry friend.

If you or your pup have any issues climbing up stairs, it may be difficult to get to the main building. Hidden at the end of a gravel road off Ben Sawyer Blvd, the main entrance it as the top of a steep flight of stairs. No worries, there is a ground-level seating area that includes umbrella-covered seating.
