Denver altitude tip for dogs
Denver's thin air (5,280 ft) and dry climate dehydrate dogs faster than at sea level. Bring water on any hike or park visit — your dog will need more than you expect. Most dog-friendly patios in RiNo keep water bowls out, but don't count on it.
Denver Dog Tips
- Denver requires dogs to be on leash in most public spaces — off-leash areas are clearly marked
- Most breweries in RiNo and Highland welcome well-behaved leashed dogs on their patios
- Cheesman Park, Sloan's Lake, and Washington Park are popular dog-walking spots (on-leash)
- Berkeley Lake and Chatfield Reservoir off-leash areas are top picks for swimming dogs
