The West Hollywood Park & Dog Park is the culmination of a lengthy community planning process. This dog-friendly park is divided into two sections, one for large dogs that covers 7000 square feet and the other for smaller dogs that covers 4000 square feet, near to several basketball courts. The park's floor is built of K9 artificial turf for dogs that is environmentally friendly and does not contain rubber infill. Petzooie's paws should stay cool and not get burned with this design. Both dog parks are enclosed and gated, with new bench seating, dog water stations, and even real trees and vines. The park is normally open from 6 a.m. until 12 a.m., though some limits may apply on specific holidays.The large dog park will be closed from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. every Wednesday, and the little dog park will be closed from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. to keep the parks clean.

Dogs are welcome at Humboldt Redwoods State Park, which spans 53,000 acres of enormous redwoods, nearly twice the size of San Francisco, with 17,000 acres of old-growth redwoods, the world's largest ancient redwood forest. The park is known for being one of the best places on the planet to see redwoods from a car, but if you and Petzooie want to get some exercise, you can take them into the developed areas, park roads, and campgrounds, but not on the trails. Between April and October, the park is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and from November to March, it is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Dogs are allowed off-leash on the entire beach from October to February. Dogs are only allowed on the waveslope the rest of the year.

Petzooie is invited to join you at a table on the terrace adjacent to the koi pond or in the tasting room at Bianchi Winery in Paso Robles, CA.

Dogs are welcome at Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve. Pets are welcome to explore the tufa towers and unusual ecology surrounding Mono Lake as long as they are leashed and cleaned up after. Except for the boardwalks, county park, and the north shore region, dogs are welcome elsewhere in the Reserve. The hours of operation at Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve vary, so visitors should phone ahead before making plans.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors, supports the Ohlone Greenway, which is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the organization. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in El Cerrito! A parking lot with easy access to the Ohlone Greenway is shown on the map below.
