We're All Going to the Dogs
If you know us, you know we love our dogs. In fact, Nycci — the woman behind TheList — proudly calls herself a crazy dog mom. Her household includes two gentle giants, Newfoundlands Zuki & Duncan, and the newest addition, Gatzby the oodle, adopted from a relative who recently fell ill. Around here, we don’t need an excuse to celebrate our pups, and now that National Dog Day has passed, we still want to spoil them even more. After all, they’re not just pets, they’re family.
Fun fact: Nearly 70% of U.S. households have a pet, with dogs reigning as America’s favorite companions. Studies even show dog owners tend to be healthier, happier, and live longer. So why not return the love by taking your four-legged bestie everywhere you go? From chic hotels with pup-friendly perks to restaurants that welcome wagging tails, the DMV is packed with places where you and your dog can dine, stay, and play together.
Pro-tip: Bethesda has regular Yappy Hours for you and your furry friend. Held at Elm Street Park, September 18 (6-8 pm) and October 9 (5-7 pm). Bethesda Restaurants will be on site at each Yappy Hour, selling food, beer, and wine.
