A Dog’s Life in Minneapolis: Your Local Guide

Beautiful studio photo of a canine pet

Minneapolis is a city that truly embraces the four-seasons-a-year, active lifestyle, making it a paradise for dogs and their owners. Your new puppy will thrive amidst the city’s incredible network of parks, lakes, and trails. Imagine your first game of fetch at the iconic Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park, where your pup can run freely across acres of scenic land near the famous falls. It’s a social hub for the city’s canine community, perfect for puppy playdates and making new friends (for both of you!).

For a more serene but equally stunning outing, picture a leisurely walk around the chain of lakes. A stroll along the paths of Lake of the Isles or Bde Maka Ska provides breathtaking skyline views and plenty of green space for your puppy to explore new sights and smells. From the vibrant, artistic neighborhoods of Northeast to the family-friendly streets of Linden Hills, a puppy seamlessly fits into the Minneapolis way of life. They’ll be your co-pilot for patio brunches in the summer, your eager companion for crisp autumn walks, and your cozy buddy during snowy winter evenings. This city isn’t just dog-friendly; it’s a place where a dog can live their best life.

What are the payment options for my puppy?

We’ve designed our payment model for your complete peace of mind. We require a 50% deposit to reserve your chosen puppy. The remaining balance is not due until our delivery driver arrives at your Minneapolis home with your healthy, happy puppy. This “balance on delivery” model is our guarantee to you, ensuring you can welcome your new pet with confidence and trust.

What's the first thing I should do with my new puppy in Minneapolis?

The very first thing is to give them a calm and gentle introduction to their new home. Let them sniff around their designated space, show them their water bowl, and take them outside to your yard or a safe potty spot. The next crucial step, within 2-3 days, is to take them for their first wellness check-up with your chosen Minneapolis veterinarian to get them started on a path to a long and healthy life.
