Your Four-Legged Friend

Alexandria is one welcoming city - for people and their pets! When you embark on your Alexandria adventure, make sure to bring Fido along for the ride!

Alexandrians just love dogs. You'll see that in front of shops, where store owners leave bowls of water for your canine companion and offer treats to friendly pooches pawing through boutiques with their owners. Your best friend is welcome to join you for a relaxing meal at an outdoor café. Many Alexandria restaurants welcome dogs in their outdoor areas. Some restaurants have even created tasty menus just for your puppy! Please call ahead to get all the specific details for you and your pet.

The highlight of the spring and summer social calendar in Alexandria is the doggy happy hour. Each week, dogs of all shapes and sizes socialize over biscuits, while their human companions share a beverage and snacks.

From accommodations to attractions, retailers to restaurants, Alexandria has gone to the dogs -- in the best possible way!
