Pet Friendly Businesses
Part of the ARL’s mission is to strengthen the human-animal bond, so to encourage this, we’ve compiled a list of pet-friendly businesses in the Des Moines metro and beyond.
Please note: The following businesses allow well-behaved dogs of all breeds. Dogs should be well-socialized, up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered (or not in heat), and on a leash at all times. While these businesses allow pets, they also reserve the right to ask any dog deemed unsuitable to leave.
Would you like to have your business added to the list? Please email events@arl-iowa.org.
