We’re raising the woof because Monday, Aug. 26 is National Dog Day. Here at INDYtoday we love our furry friends and our city so much that City Editor Nicole named her dog Indy.
On a day dedicated to our precious pups, it only feels right to treat them to the best day in the Circle City.
Indy may not have landed on Forbes’ list of best cities in the US for dogs, but we beg to differ. There are still lots of places around the city that will welcome your furry friend with open paws.
We want your help deciding where we should take Indy to celebrate National Dog Day around town using some spots we’ve narrowed down from our dog-friendly guide.
The best way to start the day is with coffee — or in this case, a pup cup. Where should Indy + Nicole get coffee?
- Mansion Society
- Blue Mind Roasting
- The Selene
- Red Door Cafe
Indy is a well-behaved pup who will stay right by Nicole’s seat at Blue Mind.

A dog’s best day isn’t complete without a walkie and some fresh air. Which park should Indy + Nicole go for a walk in?
- White River State Park
- Garfield Park
- Eagle Creek Park
- Riverside Regional Park
One of Nicole’s favorite pastimes is shopping and getting a little treat, so naturally it’s Indy’s favorite thing to do too. Which dog-friendly store or business should Indy + Nicole visit?
- Three Dogs Bakery
- City Dogs Grocery
- Woof Gang
- Digs
You’ll go to Digs for the plants, and then stay for the vibes.
