It may come as no surprise that there are always dog-friendly events happening in Los Angeles.  Therefore, no matter what neighborhood you live in, or what your interests are, there is something for you and your pup to do.

As COVID restrictions are lifting in Southern California, there are more in-person events finally happening (with proper safety protocols, of course). However, there are still plenty of virtual dog-related events for those who would like to be on the safer side.

So, here is our guide to best dog-friendly events in Los Angeles and beyond for February 2023.
