Our four-legged guides, Finn and Ghost, dug up some pupper-friendly finds during their visit to Town Center. From a menu catered exclusively to pups at Tupelo Honey – to a day of pampering at Dogtopia – to a park where a dog, well, can just be a dog. There are over 20 pet-friendly businesses in Town Center. Grab your leash and take your human for a stroll.

Finn booked an afternoon bath with a professionally trained spa attendant at Dogtopia. The relaxing environment and modern spa was just what this furry friend needed! Dogtopia is a loving place that always keeps dogs’ wants and needs in mind. They offer award-winning dog daycare, overnight, weekend and holiday boarding, and spa services.
Ghost enjoyed a loop around the very dog-friendly “Central Park”. He even spotted a few ducks in the pond!
Time for lunch at Tupelo Honey! Ghost tried to order one of everything off of the Dog Menu but he settled on “The Notorious D.O.G.”. It was paw-sitively delicious. Bone-appetit!
Finn couldn’t head home until he got his bagel fix. Einstein Bros. Bagels bakes pet-friendly “doggie bagels” with wheat flour, carob chips, canola oil, eggs, vanilla, and tail-wagging happiness.

Here’s The Scoop

Leashed, well-behaved dogs are permitted in all outdoor public areas (Fountain Plaza, Central Park, City sidewalks) of Town Center. If visiting with your furry friend, please be mindful that owners are responsible, by law, for cleaning up after their dogs and for the behavior of their dogs. For your convenience, the City of Virginia Beach has provided twelve Dog Comfort Stations  (listed below) with disposable waste bags throughout Town Center. Trash cans are near each location.
