Midtown Mutts Dog Park: Let your pup socialize and burn off some energy at the Midtown Mutts Dog Park. With separate areas for large and small dogs, it's a safe space for off-leash play.

Oklahoma City offers a variety of dog-friendly activities and dining options, ensuring that both you and your furry friend can make the most of your time in this Big League city. The Oklahoma City ordinance requires all dogs to be on a leash when in public, be up to date on rabies vaccination, and for owners to pick up pet waste on private and public property, including other people’s yards, parks and on sidewalks or trails. Always remember to check with each venue regarding their pet specific policies before heading out.

 

Coming to Oklahoma City in the near future? We'd love to host you and your fur baby at one of our short term rentals in OKC. Book direct and you'll get the lowest rates plus free early check-in!
