We totally get it; pets are family, too! Locals and visitors alike are always on the hunt for a place to bring their furry friends (including us!). We’ve got a few places to share with you that your pet will be more than welcome at! 

**Please note that service animals are welcome anywhere. This list is for our furry friends that are not registered as service animals. 

  1. Patriot Park

Taka a moment of your visit to walk around beautiful Patriot Park. The paved trail loops around a massive area of grass perfect for picnics and a run with your pup (dog’s must remain on leashes). You’ll also stroll along the Little Pigeon River just behind the Old Mill. This historic area will be fun for you and your pet! 

Not only is this place unique and locally owned; they also welcome pets indoors and outdoors! Enjoy a fresh drink from their distillery and be sure to try out a delicious meal made from fresh ingredients. As a treat they will give your pup sweet potato fries that they’ll love! 

The Island in Pigeon Forge is not only pet-friendly; pets are encouraged! Your dog will get some exercise walking around there, but don’t worry, their hard work will pay off with a homemade treat from Big Rock Candy Kitchen! 

If you’re wanting to spend a day at Dollywood and you’re worried about leaving your pet in the hotel/ cabin, bring them along! Doggywood is the place for pets to be while you spend the day with your friends and family. Their puppy-loving staff will  keep your pet safe and happy! 

Want to take home the world’s cutest souvenir? Get your pet’s photo taken, old-time style, at Four Sisters Old Time Photo! They’ll dress them up in anything from bandanas to cowboy hats. Adorable. 

We hope you and your fluffy friend have a blast on your visit to Pigeon Forge!
