June 25, 2025

In Miami County, Ohio, your four-legged friends are always welcome to join in the fun! From tail-wagging dog parks to patios perfect for a pup nap in the sun, we’ve rounded up the best spots where dogs are not just allowed—they’re celebrated. Grab the leash and let’s go!

Off-Leash Adventures

Let your dog run free and make furry friends at one of our three outstanding dog parks:

  • Duke Park in Troy: This large, well-maintained dog park offers separate areas for large and small dogs and is a favorite among locals.

  • Kyle Park in Tipp City: Enjoy open space and plenty of room for your dog to stretch their legs in a safe, fenced area.

  • Roadside Park in Piqua: A quieter spot that’s great for a relaxed visit with your pup.

Dine with Your Dog

After all that play, treat yourself—and your pooch—to a bite on a pet-friendly patio:

  • Old Scratch Pizza (Troy): Share a slice while your pup lounges by your side.

  • Bakehouse Bread & Cookie Co (Troy): Grab a coffee and a sweet treat on their cozy patio.

  • Haren’s Market (Troy): Their outdoor tables make it easy to grab a fresh sandwich or salad with your dog in tow.

  • Long Shots (Troy): Enjoy the golf range or relax on the patio—dogs are welcome to chill out with you.

  • Crooked Handle Brewing Co (Piqua): Kick back with a craft brew while your pup enjoys the outdoor biergarten vibe.

  • Susie’s Big Dipper (Piqua): Don’t miss a photo op on the charming back patio while enjoying your favorite scoop.

  • Boscoe’s Place (Covington): A community favorite where your dog is always greeted with a smile—and maybe a treat!

Paws-itively Picture Perfect

Pamper & Spoil

Make a pit stop at R Pets—located in both Downtown Tipp City and Piqua—for everything from treats to toys. These locally loved pet shops offer unique finds and friendly service for you and your furry friend.

* Word of Caution *
Be aware of the heat on a concrete surface. If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws, so come back another day with your furry friend!
