5 Things To Do This Summer With Your Dog

Summer is here, and it’s time to trade poop scooping for tail-wagging adventures! While DoodyCalls has your yard covered, you and your pup are free to enjoy the sunshine together. Whether you're looking to stay local or explore somewhere new, there are plenty of ways to bond with your dog this season.

Here are 5 fun things to do this summer with your dog — besides scoop poop (we’ll take care of that part!):

1. Plan a Dog-Friendly Day Trip 🐾

Pack up the car, roll down the windows, and hit the road! Many beaches, hiking trails, and small towns welcome dogs with open paws. Look for places with dog-friendly patios, water bowls outside shops, and pet-friendly parks. Don’t forget your pup’s leash, snacks, and plenty of water.

👉 Pro Tip: Websites like BringFido or AllTrails can help you find dog-approved destinations near you.

2. Make a Splash Together 💦

Whether it’s a dog-friendly beach, a safe lake, or a kiddie pool in the backyard, most dogs love water in the summer heat. Swimming is a great way to help your pup stay cool while getting some exercise.

Not a swimmer? Try a sprinkler session or a game of fetch with water toys!

3. Host a Doggy Playdate or Backyard BBQ 🌭

Invite a few dog-loving friends over and let the pups socialize while you fire up the grill. Create a shady space for dogs to relax, have water bowls available, and keep treats on hand. It’s a win for everyone — you relax, your dog has fun, and you don’t have to scoop a thing. (Thanks, DoodyCalls!)

4. Try a Frozen DIY Dog Treat Recipe 🍦

Summer is the perfect time to get creative in the kitchen (or freezer). Whip up simple dog-safe frozen treats like:

Peanut butter & banana popsicles
Frozen yogurt with blueberries
Ice cube trays filled with low-sodium broth and carrot bits

Not only are they fun to make, but they’ll keep your dog cool and happy during hot afternoons.

5. Visit a Dog-Friendly Farmers Market or Outdoor Event 🎪

More communities are welcoming dogs to their outdoor markets, festivals, and events. It’s a great way for your dog to explore new sights, smells, and friendly faces. Just be mindful of hot pavement and crowds, and bring water!

👉 Check local event listings or social media for upcoming dog-friendly happenings near you.
