Dog-tastic Dog-tivities!

Los Angeles Is For Dog-lovers

Los Angeles is one of the most dog friendly cities in the United States, so of course we are going to have some kick-ass dog-tivities for you and your favorite pooch to enjoy!  Because, let’s be honest, everything is better when your dog is there!

Do you have a surfer-brah dog who loves to hit the waves?  Does Mugsy’s surf skills put yours to shame?  Why not enroll him in a surf competition!

Take your favorite four-legged pal to Huntington Beach for the Surf City Surf Dog Festival where you both can enjoy a weekend of dog-themed ocean events.

Start the weekend by taking your dog to check out some dog-themed art at the Rainwater Gallery on Friday evening, it’s also a good chance for you to scope out the opposition.

On Saturday, the main event begins!  There will be single-dog heats and tandem (human/dog, dog/dog or human/dog on paddle boards) heats and the competition is sure to ferocious. By the end of the day the top dog will be crown surf-king/queen and everyone will get a treat!

The main event takes place between September 22nd – September 24th at the Huntington Dog Beach, 100 Goldenwest Street & PCH, Huntington Beach. If you and your pooch are interested in participating, registration ends September 18th, at midnight.

If you and Fido prefer to stay on dry land but still want have fun, check out Strut Your Mutt, a mega fund-raising event and dog walk where you can both get some cardio and help raise money for homeless dogs.  It’s a great way to meet like-minded dog lovers and show off how precious your mixed-breed baby is!

This year’s Strut Your Mutt event takes place October 21st at 700 Exposition Park, from 1:30pm – 6pm.

Finally, if you’re not in the mood to socialize, but want your best-friend to know how much they mean to you, why not get a custom cake made for them?  It’s a great way to let them know that you’re thinking of them.

The Dog Bakery makes delicious all-natural fresh-baked cakes that look as good as they taste.  Rover will appreciate when you cut into his cake that it’s not a hard biscuit or cookie; it’s a full fledge, human quality, fluffy cake!  You can even get the cake wheat-free if you’re on-trend puppy suffers from a gluten allergy!  What’s not to love?

The Dog Bakery has locations at Old Town Pasadena, Mar Vista and LA Farmer’s Market.
