2024 Best of Lake Erie: Dog-Friendly Day

Get the scoop on the best ways to travel to Put-in-Bay with your four-legged best friend.




Cruising to the Island: Both the Miller Ferries and the Jet Express allow dogs for no extra fee. Just keep Rover on a leash and watch his little, black nose inhale fresh lake breezes.   

Fido’s Favorites: Island Paws is a free dog park and a green 2-acre oasis. Rent a golf cart to roam the island. Take in history at Perry’s Victory & International Peace Memorial, then mini golf at Perry’s Family Fun Center. Cool off with a swim or kayak.

Hungry?: Imagine paws in the sand, a tropical drink melting in your hand‚ and really good food! Retire to The Keys for Caribbean-style dishes, seafood, desserts and drinks. Located on the water, this pup paradise has a tropical-themed treat station for pics. Dogs are welcome to dine outdoors all over the island. From pizzas to fine dining, there’s a water bowl waiting.
