Doggy Day Trip to Lockhart!

With summer comes the desire for new experiences, adventures, and most of all, day trips. Only 45 minutes away from Austin, and a little over an hour from San Antonio, Lockhart is the ideal distance for many Central Texans. 

Known for its BBQ, historic downtown scenery, unique antique stores, and one of a kind small businesses, Lockhart has a lot to offer. But what’s the one thing that could possibly make this trip any better? 

Bringing your dog!

Many small businesses, restaurants, and cafes are dog friendly. Downtown Lockhart is no stranger to four-legged tourists, welcoming pets in with a treat!

Kick off your day with some wellness with a refreshing cold pressed juice from Verde at Plantasia, and a tasty pup cup for your pooch. Don’t forget to grab a Texas native plant while you’re there! Or get a caffeinated pick-me-up from Thorn & Bread and look through their specialized selection of houseplants. 

Split an order of fries with your pet at Best Little Wine & Books while browsing through their bottles and bookshelves. Feeling creative? Head to Artisan House and pour a custom soy candle with the help of the best noses around— a dog’s! Now, no doubt peckish after a full day of shopping, stop for lunch at La Cantera for some cozy, homestyle Mexican food. 

And the shopping isn’t just limited to humans— Mr. Brown’s Pet Stop is the destination to ensure the trip is unforgettable for your furry friends! With an array of toys, delicious treats, stylish pet apparel, and more, there’s something for every dog. For cat lovers, there’s a selection of catnip, toys, food, and treats that are sure to make any feline purr. Even the tiniest pets are never overlooked, the shop catering to small animals as well. 

Every adventure is made better with man’s best friend!
