DOG-FRIENDLY EATERIES
Stop in with your canine customer at a range of dog-friendly establishments across the city – some known to offer a puppucino for your pooch.
Dogs are welcome at Springwood’s Good Afternoon Kitchen & Dessert, Slacks Creek’s Extraction Artisan Coffee, Underwood’s Never Been, Loganholme’s The Foxy, Springwood’s The Laneway Green (pictured at top, centre), and Cafe63, and Daisy Hill’s St. Coco Cafe.

SPLASH AND PLAY DOG PARK
Flagstone Splash And Play Dog Park is full of green space for your pooch to enjoy, along with dog tunnels and a splash and play dog park. Your dog will have its day as they frolic through a water fountain that shoots bubbly water at the push of a button. A short walk away, there’s also a park with a water play area for humans, with multiple standing water buckets, water jet shooters and more.
