Welcome to Door County!
As dogs are considered to be more and more like family members, vacationing with pets has become increasingly popular. Your dog loves nothing more than to be by your side, and while traveling together, it's up to you to make sure the whole family has a safe, happy, and stress-free trip. For your dog's happiness and well-being, always provide frequent walks, fresh water, and playful exercise. As a courtesy to our customers and web visitors, we have created a comprehensive list of trails, beaches, boat landings, dog parks, restaurants, and shops to make pet-friendly travel in Door County as easy and as fun as possible. See Visit Door County with Your Dog to view a map of the county with our personal choices of places to take your dog.
