Let's face it, one of the most important questions to consider when relocating is how well our "fur babies" will adjust to their new surroundings.
Although man caves, storage space and dream kitchensare the top of our search criteria, Fido's grassy sanctuary and morning walk route are equally important factors.
Fortunately for us, Denver is a location that catersto family members that walk on both two and four legs! With a plethora of dog friendly hotels, restaurants, specialty bake shops and dog parks, four legged friends are abundantly welcome in the Mile High City.
As 2015 builds momentum, pet owners and pet advocates can look forward to some exciting events and opportunities to showcase and support their furry friends. Here are a few upcoming pet events that you may want to take advantage of:
