Waco Dog Weekend

What can we do with the dog this weekend?

Move one purchase you were already going to make to a local business.You don't have to spend extra — just move one purchase you were already going to make.

Full weekend guide →

Saturdays · 9 AM–1 PM

Waco Downtown Farmers Market

200 E Bridge St, Waco, TX

One of the easiest ways to move a purchase local. Grab produce, bread, breakfast, meat, baked goods, honey, or something else you would have purchased anyway — and buy it directly from a local producer.

Anytime you already wanted coffee

Street Dog Cafe

406 Elm Ave, Waco, TX

If coffee or breakfast was already part of the plan, make that your local purchase. Street Dog Cafe gives Waco dog people an easy place to grab breakfast or coffee while supporting a local business.

Early or late in the heat

North Waco Park

North Waco Park, Waco, TX

Outdoor space and walking areas for leashed dogs and their people. Go early or late during hot weather, and skip it if the pavement fails the 7-second test.

Keep Waco Wagging Approved

Being in the directory means dogs are reported welcome. Approved means we actually thought about whether it works for dog parents — shade, water, noise, and whether we would take our own dogs. Businesses cannot buy that.

Waco, Texas

Give your dog their best Waco life.

Your dog is family. Find the places, people, services, events, and experiences that make life with them in Waco even better. We live here, we have dogs, and we would rather tell you the patio has no shade than pretend every outing is a good idea.

“They are not boarding. They are visiting — bathed in the kitchen sink, dried with the good towels.”

Jackye Clayton, founder
