Your Day in CLE | Dog's Day Out in Cleveland, OH

So Will You.

Did you see our ad in the Big Game? If you loved what you saw, you and your best (furry) friend are going to love The Land.

You’re not going to find a city as crazy about dogs as Cleveland. After all, our wildest sports fans are known as the “Dawg Pound” and our NBA mascot is Moon Dog. Clevelanders are always looking out for the best doggone places to take good boys and girls — just ask any of our pups.

Bark up all the right trees in thousands of acres of parks filled with paths to walk, squirrels to chase and territory to mark. Chow down with your humans at a pack of dog-friendly restaurants and leave a little "huskier." Grab a drink (no, not from the toilet) from any number of pro-pooch pubs and breweries across CLE. Then, curl up in one of many pet-friendly hotels.

As soon as your paws touch down in Cleveland, you’re going to love it here, fur sure. So, don't sit and stay in your everyday routine. Get out there and have your day in The Land.

Move to Cleveland.

Meet Your BFF.

Already moving to Cleveland with your dog? The CLE Dog Adoption Program will provide a one-year membership to Taps & Tails, an indoor/outdoor dog park and bar.
