According to a new survey, New York is the least dog-friendly city in the United States. While we can't speak for NYC, we can make an argument that the Hudson Valley is actually an extremely dog-friendly region.

Is the Hudson Valley Dog Friendly?

In the last few years, we've seen an uptick in dog-friendly businesses. Rover.com reports that stores like Lowes, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, Norstrom, Macy's, and Apple all welcome well-behaved, leashed, dogs in their stores.

Here in the Hudson Valley, especially after COVID, many bars and restaurants with outdoor options became dog-friendly establishments. There are a handful of breweries and wineries that also welcome your 4 legged friends on their property.
