Philadelphia is a downright joyful place right now, after the Eagles brought home the Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl 2025. And many Philadelphians are making logistical plans to get to the parade on Broad Street this Friday. They are estimating one MILLION people will be in attendance. But should you bring your dog? We're expecting large crowds for 2025's Super Bowl Parade in Philadelphia. Pictured: 2018's Parade. The parade will be a true Philly PARTY with confetti cannons an

ACCT Philly saw an increase in interest last month following Yoda's heroic act. It seems like Belgian Malinois breed has been on the lips of everyone in the Philadelphia region after the escaped convict in Chester County (we will not name him) was apprehended by a brave dog-on-duty named Yoda last month.

We love our hometown! We love the vibrancy of a city that never seems to sleep (for better or for worse.) But we often find ourselves craving fresh air and greenery. And on these steamy dog days of Summer, we often target spots that also provide water access for our pooch to cool off. (Our dog, Jax, doesn't actually SWIM unless we are physically in the water with him. He's a social splasher! But he loves to get his paws wet and explore the shallows.) Fortunately, within an h

Leash laws in Philadelphia are important for so many reasons. Leashing keeps our dogs safe, keeps our neighbors safe and frankly, it's the right thing to do!

Turtles on a log always delight! ​One of the great things about Philly is that you don't have to travel far to take your dogs for an adventure. Last weekend we took our own dog Jax to John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge (a 10 minute drive from Center City) for a wander around the wetlands just as signs of Spring were starting to emerge. We saw loads of turtles, birds and even a few fish jump right out of the water. Even though the parking lot was packed (it was the first warm

Oh, city dog owners. You think we have good dog parks in Center City Philadelphia? Sure. We do. (For a City.) But take a 20 minute drive into New Jersey and be prepared to have your mind blown by Timber Creek Dog Park. We took our pups there for the first time this Summer and I can't believe we've been missing out on this gem. It's a whopping 128 acres of doggy paradise. Nine of the wooded acres are completely fenced in. Yes, you read that correctly. NINE ACRES. It's almost
