Bandit’s Day Out: A Dog-Friendly Adventure
Farragut, TN, is a gem for dog owners, offering plenty of spots where your furry friend can join in the fun. Recently, Bandit and I took a tour of some of the most dog-friendly Farragut spots. From treats to trails, here’s a look at our adventure.
Summer Moon Coffee
We started our day at Summer Moon Coffee, where Bandit was thrilled to find out they offer a special treat just for pups. While I enjoyed a delicious Mocha Moon Latte, and my companion sipped on a Chai Latte (she’s not much of a coffee fan), Bandit happily devoured his pup cup on the cozy outdoor patio. The highlight? He got to order his treat himself at the walk-up window—talk about service!
River Dog Bakery
Next up was River Dog Bakery, a paradise for dogs. This store is packed with treats, toys, bandanas, and all kinds of pet supplies. They even bake their own dog treats, which are as creative as they are tasty. Bandit picked out an octopus-shaped biscuit from their underwater critters collection and couldn’t get enough of it. If you’re looking to spoil your pup, this is the place to go.
McFee Park
After indulging at the bakery, it was time to burn off some energy, so we headed to McFee Park. With its expansive lawns and open spaces, it’s a dream for dogs who love to run. Bandit had a blast practicing his training and enjoying the freedom of the wide-open area. The park even has dog-friendly water fountains, so he stayed hydrated while I relaxed by the pavilion.
Mayor Bob Leonard Park
Our next stop was Mayor Bob Leonard Park, another beautiful spot in Farragut. This time, we took a more leisurely pace, strolling along the shaded trails. Bandit made a few new friends and posed like a champ on the walking bridge, perfect for a quick photo op. The park also has water fountains just for dogs, which Bandit was grateful for after all that exercise.
Sparrow Wine Bar
To end our day, we visited Sparrow Wine Bar. They offer a special “bark-cuterie board” for dogs, featuring an assortment of meats, cheeses, veggies, and crackers. After a full day of running around, Bandit was more than ready for another snack. We relaxed on the patio, where we could enjoy a drink and our own charcuterie boards while Bandit enjoyed his.
As we headed home, Bandit, content and full, quickly fell asleep in the car. It was the perfect ending to a day filled with fun, food, and plenty of tail-wagging adventures exploring dog-friendly Farragut.
