While I don’t have a dog (yet), I can’t wait to raise my future furry best friend in North Carolina. The weather here is great all year long, and there are lots of great pet-friendly activities.

For our furry friends to stretch their legs, we have amazing hiking trails, dog parks, and pastoral landscapes. Various beaches and historical sites are dog-friendly in North Carolina.

These are the top 20 pet-friendly cities in North Carolina, according to GoPetFriendly.com. Charlotte made the list along with our neighbor Gastonia. As a fun reminder, there is a famous Dog Bar in the Queen City, where pups can run wild while their owners enjoy a cold one. Check out the full list below.
