| I think I'm really lucky to have such a great dog park around here. I take Jackson as much as I possibly can. At the least, once a week, and I can't imagine life w/o the dog park. It's truly a great way for socializing our pups, letting them burn off some energy, and meet new doggie friends/people. He loves it. I love it because when he gets home, he crashes for the night

YT Addict | Derby loves it! but this one time there weren't enough small dogs in the small dog side so they were on the big dog side! I thought I'd let Derby go at it since there were a bunch of small dogs... OMG!!!!!! lol!!!! Derby! always going after the big dogs! but did he ever get his butt kicked lol! and there he was always rolling onto his belly in the mercy! position! but after that- up and ready for more!!! what a guy. I had to take him out because he was getting nipped at, and as much as he thought he could handle it... even the dog owners told me "I think he's had enough for today..." lol they were all lovin' up on him and cuddling him... but he had some belly sores after that day. i always give him a good bath after doggie park day |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | Actually yes. Not by my vet but i read in the newspaper around here not too long ago that a lot of dogs were getting sick and dying from drinking stagment(sp) water in dog parks...water that has not been changed and left for long hrs...where other animals like mice, birds, squirrels get into so i just never let mine drink public water..i always take my own water. Other than that i think it's ok..i just take them to the small dog area..and don't let them eat anything out there.

| It's not surprising that a vet would say that. i'm not going to say it's a bad thing to go, but it isn't for us. Actually, I'm more comfortable taking Ellie to people parks for some reason. I think it's because there is less doggy-disease present. With the yucky water that most of the dogs play in and the squirrels and toads, etc, and the bugs, and other dogs who may not be UTD of vaccines...no thanks. If I ever took Ellie to a place like that, I would only be comfortable if she was current on DHLPP, rabies, bordatella, heartworm meds, flea and tick meds, possibly lymes vaccine and a good dewormer, and fecals often. But there is no way that I'd want to put all that stuff in her little body.

| We are really lucky because we live in the suburbs and have a HUGE fenced in back yard. Although some of my friends bring their small dogs over to play, we always know that they are UTD on their shots and worm medication. However, I work in Toronto every so often and sometimes when I can't get a sitter, the girls have to come to Toronto with me. There is a park across from the hotel that we stay in (it is an on leash green space). But I feel so guilty having to take them there. I am sure I will be even more worried if we end up working in Toronto more often and having to send them to Doggy day care. |

I understand that!!! Not everyone takes care of, or treats their dogs with good care and have good hygiene habits, nor do they have the common sense to pick up after their dogs. They are just nasty, and I would NOT want my baby near that mess. | |
