Best Friends Pet Care has started this group to give our camp parents and their furry kids a safe environment to play and make new friends. We offer dog camp during the week and on Saturdays for the dogs to play without their parents! Our goal with this meetup is to give more dog parents a fun and safe place to meet other social dogs and their families in the area. You do not need to be a member of our camp program to join the meetup.

Love dogs? Looking for fun things to do with them? Check out some of the fun events that we are up to. Wine and play meetups, bloody mary sunday play groups and more to come.
