After a grooming session, both you and your dog might be ready for a treat or a leisurely stroll. Fortunately, Fuquay-Varina and its neighboring towns offer a variety of pet-friendly cafes and parks perfect for post-grooming visits. Here’s a guide to some local favorites that welcome both you and your furry friend.

Relax at Pet-Friendly Cafes

There’s nothing quite like relaxing with a cup of coffee while your freshly groomed pup lounges nearby. Here are some excellent local spots that cater to dog owners:

• Bass Lake Draft House, Holly Springs: This lively spot offers a dog-friendly patio so you can enjoy a diverse menu while your dog basks in the sun. Holly Springs is just a short drive from our grooming teams serving the area.
• Stick Boy Bread Co., Fuquay-Varina: Famous for their fresh-baked bread and pastries, this cafe allows dogs in their outdoor seating area, making it an ideal spot post doodle grooming.
• Common Grounds Coffee House & Cafe, Apex: This cozy cafe with a welcoming atmosphere extends to its dog-friendly outdoor seating. It’s perfect for a post-grooming coffee break after a visit to our Apex location.

Enjoy the Outdoors at Dog-Friendly Parks

Whether your pup needs to stretch their legs or you both crave some fresh air, there are plenty of parks nearby that cater to pets. Consider these local favorites:

• Fuquay-Varina Dog Park: This local favorite features separate areas for large and small dogs. It’s just the place for your furry companion to run off-leash and socialize after nail grooming at KurlyTails.
• Womble Park, Holly Springs: While not exclusively a dog park, Womble Park offers expansive open spaces and trails that are ideal for a stroll with your dog. Add this stop to your itinerary after poodle grooming.
• Jack Smith Park, Cary: Featuring a dedicated dog park area and plenty of walking trails, this spot is perfect for pets that love a little adventure.

Tips for a Great Day Out with Your Dog

Before heading out, it’s always a good idea to pack the essentials. Bring a water bowl and plenty of water to keep your dog hydrated, especially during the warmer months. Some parks provide water facilities, but having your own is always safe. Another tip is to keep dog treats handy for good behavior, especially if you’re visiting a cafe or a new park.

Leashes are typically required in most public spaces even if your dog is well-trained. Keep one readily available to ensure safety for your dog and others. Finally, make sure your dog’s ID tags are up-to-date with contact information before leaving the house.
