They have the most amazing smoked turkey and apple coleslaw! The food truck is run by a really kind couple, and everything tastes homemade and fresh. Highly recommend checking them out.

Lilac Hedge checks a lot of boxes! They’ve got a farm kitchen with great pizza, wings, and burgers, plus a nice assortment of beer, local drinks, and non-alcoholic options. Their ice cream is fantastic—Tinkerbell even had her first pup cup here! Las...

This is a fantastic local restaurant that has a fenced in dog friendly patio. They take reservations, which I prefer. They have good food and a decent beer list.

Oh this one is good! The parking lot is small and it’s a little loud but the food and drinks make up for it. Try the chocolate or espresso martinis.

Tinkerbell keeping watch at Oakholm Brewery! 🐾 This is my absolute favorite spot — the beer list is always changing, but Crooked Post and White Cow Wheat are must-tries if you can get them. Great drinks, welcoming atmosphere, and dog-friendly too!

Klems is the best local shopping spot! 🛒 You’ll find pet food, livestock supplies, Carhartt, Ariat, Red Wings, and so much more. They also host some of the most fun events for kids and pets — yes, Tinkerbell comes shopping here too!

Did you know that TJ Maxx is pet friendly? This is a rainy day boredom buster to get us out of the house. They have a great dog section and I always stop by to see what they have for the grandkids. I once found a Fair Harbor bathing suit for cheap.

This is another great option for a rainy day activity. I did get a bed here when Tinkerbell was a puppy that she quickly outgrew. I wish I could have found a bigger size. You just never know what you will find.

This is another surprise that is pet friendly. It’s not my favorite because these tend to be more dirty than other stores but perfect to work on leave it training.
