Lucky Paws Resort

This past Sunday, Guy, Lily, and I made our second visit to Lucky Paws Resort's dog park. We visited for the first time in the beginning of August with our friend Jerod and his Weimaraner, Sally, and we all decided that we should go again since the dogs had such a great time the first time around.

Lucky Paws is located in Cranberry/Freedom, PA, so it is about a 45-minute drive for us. The reason we like it so much is because not only do they have a large, fenced-in area for the dogs to run in, but they have a doggy pool, complete with water features and sloped entry so the dogs can just charge right into the water. Admission is $10, and dogs must have proof of rabies, distemper, and bordatella vaccines. I don't mind paying a fee to go there because the doggy guests are much more well-screened than, say, the ones that visit the South Park dog park.

Lily, Sally, and all the dogs at the park seemed to be having a great time on Sunday afternoon. The pool did look a little dirty this time around, but it was probably just from dogs with dirty paws running in and out. It's actually filled with saltwater rather than chlorine so that it will stay clean but not irritate the dogs if they drink a little bit or get it in their eyes. Lucky Paws also provides buckets and coolers of fresh water for dogs to drink when they get thirsty. Overall, it's a really neat place that's worth the long drive.

Here is a video of Lily enjoying her playtime both in and out of the pool.

1. Thank you for spelling my name right.
2. What is the make and model of your camera? I like the video (looks really good) and seems to be a solid machine. Does it transform into an Autobot?
3. Big fan of all video on the site.
