Looking for a hidden gem where your dog can roam 🐕 and you can soak in stunning views? Colohatchee Dog Park in Wilton Manors delivers just that - and more. This off-leash haven offers beautiful water scenery, a breezy boardwalk through the mangroves, and a peaceful escape from the daily grind.

"I just want to share that I went with my dog to Negroni Restaurant at Town Center, Weston, and this place is so dog-friendly that they even invited me to sit with my Cavapoo indoors, and they surprised me with a dog’s menu and a bowl of water for her." - Selma

🤔 Interesting Fact
Dogs Aren’t The Only Ones
Did you know that under Florida law, service animals aren’t limited to just dogs? Miniature horses 🐎 can also qualify as service animals if they’re trained to assist with a disability. Like service dogs, they must be housebroken, under control, and perform specific tasks.
Businesses and public places are required to allow them, as long as the animal’s size can be reasonably accommodated. Emotional-support animals don’t count under this law.
👋 Meet Toby from Wilton Manors. This sleek, stylish pup was sent in by our friend Jeff - and we're guessing there's some Italian Greyhound in the mix! With those long legs and alert ears, Toby looks ready to strut any runway… or maybe just race to the treat jar.
👋 Say hello to J’adore! This 3-month-old heartthrob is as sweet as he is stylish. He loves shopping for new toys, making friends with both cats and dogs, and stealing hearts wherever he goes. With a big personality and a face made for the camera, J’adore is the perfect boy!

Raw Vibrance
Nope, This Isn’t An Ad!
If you're like me and feed your dog a raw 🥩 or homemade diet, you've probably wondered if they’re getting everything they need. I had the same concern, which is why I started adding Dr. Harvey’s Raw Vibrance to my dogs’ meals.
It’s an easy way to cover the bases without overthinking 🤔 it. Plus, since you mix it with warm water, it adds a bit of hydration to their meal too - always a bonus. I still get to feed them fresh food, but now I feel better knowing they’re not missing out on important nutrients.
Do your own research 🔎 and look up Dr. Harvey’s brand ratings - they have a solid reputation and great reviews.
Although it’s made for raw or home-cooked meals, plenty of dog parents who feed kibble also use it as a topper or nutrient 💪 boost.
