Most dog owners will proudly tell you that their pup is like a member of their family and that there\u2019s nothing better than coming home after a long day to a fur-filled snuggle session.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because we love our dogs so doggone much, we enjoy spoiling them as much as possible. Luckily, Omaha is a dog-friendly city, with plenty of local businesses welcoming Fido with open arms (and a few hidden dog treats behind the counter)!<\/span><\/p>\n

Take your pup out on the town by visiting any of these shops, pet-friendly restaurants, groomers, walkers, boarding facilities, parks and more!<\/span><\/p>\n
