As the saying goes, "Every dog has its day," but all dogs have their day on August 26, which has been designated as National Dog Day. From their unconditional love to their tails that wag happily when they see us, dogs are worth celebrating. So why not take your pooch to one of the fun dog-friendly places in the Bergen County area, ranging from parks to a store that sells wholesome food and treats? Our real estate agents suggest taking your pup to the following dog-friendly destinations.
Willow & Whisk
319 Franklin Ave., Wyckoff, NJ 07481
Your pooch is not only welcome to join you at Willow & Whisk but will also be offered a water bowl to make sure they're comfy and hydrated. Located just around the corner from Wyckoff homes for sale, the restaurant is a popular spot to enjoy elevated comfort food for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Customers love the Brioche French Toast, served with orange-honey butter, raspberries, bananas, and maple syrup, and you can add house-made breakfast sausage or chicken-apple sausage to your order. For lunch, try one of their delicious burgers and a side of truffle-padano fries, along with a refreshing mocktail.
Ramapo Valley County Reservation
Ramapo Valley Road (Route 202), Mahwah, NJ 07430
At over 4,000 acres, Ramapo Valley County Reservation is Bergen County's largest park, providing plenty of room for you and your dog to explore. Take a hike together to roam the park's hills and valleys, the Ramapo River, and a few ponds, or enjoy catch-and-release fishing. If you'd like to stay overnight, tent camping is allowed in the park, which you'll find close to Mahwah homes for sale.
Wholistic Paws
215 Chestnut St., Ridgewood, NJ
Your dog's tail might start to wag when you enter Wholistic Paws since they are likely to score some samples and get some nice attention from the owners. The shop, which you'll find close to Ridgewood homes for sale, is known for carrying high-quality, wholesome food, treats, and toys. With the belief that most pet food on the market is highly processed and not good for your pet's health, the owners sell raw food so your dog can get the meat they're craving without hormones or steroids. You'll also find human-grade treats and potent supplements available.
Van Saun County Park
216 Forest Ave., Paramus, NJ 07652
One of Bergen County's most popular parks, Van Saun County Park offers lots for you and your dog to enjoy. Over three miles of hiking paths are available near Paramus homes for sale, as well as lookout points where you can see Walden Pond. If you have kids, bring them along for activities like the zoo, splash pads, and a carousel. Dogs can even have the run of the onsite dog park near the Continental Avenue entrance in River Edge.
Glen Rock Dog Park
350 Doremus Ave., Glen Rock, NJ 07452
Let your pup get off the leash in a secure area to romp around and have fun at Glen Rock Dog Park, dedicated to 9/11 search and rescue animals. Separate fenced areas are available for large and small dogs, and when you're ready for some shade, you can sit at the pavilion. A water source is available to help keep your dog hydrated throughout their playtime. You'll find the park located conveniently near Glen Rock homes for sale.
