The Best Dog Parks in Alberta Arts District

After hitting Tin Shed, you and Fido will be fueled up and ready to burn off some calories! Alberta Park is less than a mile away and is a nice, sprawling urban park where dogs can have their share of fun! The park has a basketball court, picnic area, playground, softball fields, and a large designated off-leash dog area, but you will find dogs throughout this park! Just note, like many dog parks in Portland, this is an unfenced dog park so you’ll want to make sure your dog has good recall.

Great Pet Stores in Alberta Arts District

Mud Bay, a great pet store with a well-trained staff that specializes in finding you the perfect product for you and your dog’s needs. Call us biased, but we feel Mud Bay is a great spot to stock up on our healthy, fresh dog food toppers or our tasty dog treats, but that’s just us…

If you instead visited Wilshire Park, you’re in luck because you are just a short distance away from Wild Pet Provisions – a staple of the local community. Wild Pet was started by Heather Macfarlane, a nutritionist who wanted to offer her consultative services up to the public. Heather personally formulates Medical Nutrition Plans for cats and dogs, using Food Therapy. Wild Pet has a great selection of products, and also conducts individual consultations to ensure you and your dog are getting exactly what you need – this is a can’t miss pet store! No matter what you’re looking for, you and your pup will be greeted with plenty of love and free samples from the staff!

Chuy, our 6 year old Golden Retriever has always been a picky eater. Finding the Portland Pet Food Company has been a pleasant surprise. Having a large dog, we use the food as a mixer. Now when Chuy hears the kibble hit his bowl he comes running. So far he has enjoyed every item in the variety pack, to the point where he licks his bowl looking for more. Thank you for a great product.
