You’ll find plenty of places that are very pet friendly In Tampa, but Hyde Park Village is the best pet friendly hangout in South Tampa. It is, quite simply, one of the best places to live and play with your pets.

According to WalletHub, Tampa is ranked second when it comes to cities where pet lovers can live their best pet loving lives. The study analyzed one hundred of the largest cities around the country and dug into everything pet related from veterinary costs to walkability. Pet health care was viewed as optimal in our Tampa Bay area. Though vet bills can add up, it’s nice to know we have top quality vets locally and many to choose from.

Hyde Park Village Is A Pet Friendly Hangout In South Tampa Thanks To The Walkability

Hyde Park Village is located on South Village Circle in South Tampa and is a haven for pet owners because of the walkability of the neighborhood and the aesthetic appeal for dog walkers and pets to both enjoy.

One of the special things for pet owners, specifically dog owners, is that almost all the fun restaurants and shops in Hyde Park Village allow dogs to hang out. Looking for furniture, bring your puppy along to look. I wouldn’t recommend letting your dog jump on the furniture at West Elm, but they are welcome. How about workout clothes? You’ll most likely be wearing your workout clothes around your four-legged friend, right? So, you may as well have him/her with you when you’re shopping for workout gear. What says “Welcome Dogs of All Kind” better than an adorable dog bowl outside the establishment. Let’s face it. It’s Florida. It gets hot. We don’t want our pooches panting.

You can dine outside with your beloved four-legged friend, too. Grab a taco at Bartaco and let your pup chow down, too.

Many of the people around Hyde Park Village share the same love for and sentiment about dogs parading around. The more the merrier!
