Dog-Friendly Christmas Tree Farms

Picking out the perfect tree is a must-do event for many families. Walking through a forest of trees, taking in the scents of the pine, until you find the perfect one. The only thing that makes the experience better is being able to enjoy it with your dog. 

Dogs love exploring the forest, accompanying you to a dog-friendly Christmas tree farm is definitely an enjoyable experience for them. Check out the individual event listings for guidelines for dogs on the farm.
