    I guess you just have to go in to really understand how magical this place is, but if you have a socially well behaved Dog, there is no reason to NOT let them have the time of their life. People are way cool and friendly, and you can just chill, have a beer, and watch these guys go nuts. You're almost bound to hurt yourself laughing. Nothing but Good Times. Freddie is the Happiest one there. Doodle Romp. 4/2/22

    We came for the DOODLE ROMP which I guess happens on the first Saturday of each month, it was really enjoyable to see all sorts of doodle faces playing and running around with each other. After the romp ended, we used their small dog/shy dog area which has lots of agility equipment set up to practice some of his moves. There weren’t any dogs in that area so it was a good way to decompress before heading home, and of course he passed out as soon as we started driving! NOTE: on their website they remind you of their requirements: - Dog must be well socialized and do well with other dogs - Written proof of vaccinations (Rabies, Bordetella, DHPP) - Flea prevention - Dogs older than 1 year need to be spayed/neutered They have some other things to note before coming by so I would take a close look at their website before visiting.

    Great place taking my lovely dog to spend a few hours at. He's having fun and I got to pet other cute dogs!

    We had so much fun celebrating an event here for work and enjoyed hanging out with all the dogs while sipping on drinks and coffee! Check-in is so easy, and the staff is incredibly nice. We typically do the drop-in play park option, but you can also rent out space for dog parties on certain days!

    I cannot encourage you enough to stop by Dogwood. I have been a member since my 4yo boi was 5 or 6mo, and have been an annual member 2yrs now. The owners are the coolest & kindest couple, their staff has always been a good fit- every single person- and there are always fun events for holidays or sportsball, and Saturday meet-ups for a bunch of different breeds! (not quite for us unique breeds yet tho, haha!) where you enjoy an entire hour (or two?) with all the same pups as yours! This is a safe, LGBTQIA + BIPOC adored space. Speaking for myself and many of those I have met and come to know at Dogwood. Hate free zone!

    Not only is this place perfect for pups to roam and be social, the staff and owners are by far the friendliest and kindest humans. They care about each dogs safety along with their owners. I feel at ease here and my pup is always excited to go in as soon as we head in the direction to Dogwood.

    Dogwood is excellent! We have been bringing our adopted rescued dog here for several months and its really helped to exercise and socialize her with both dogs and people. The staff is caring, friendly, and they obviously love dogs. Bonus that they have good beer and other decent beverage options, plus the Barkery treat counter is there too!

    My dog's favorite place. Friendly staff, good beer, and chill vibes. New parking lot! New breed meet ups! I'll continue going here for as long as I live in Seattle.

    They have a nice area for dogs to run around and they also have a bar for people the downside no dedicated space for smaller dogs

    Wonderful place to take your dogs to play and socialize. They have a large space indoors and outdoors for dogs of all sizes to co-mingle and then a separate indoor space for small/shy dogs. Love how you can also throw birthday parties for your fur babies here too 💕

    I got a gift card for Christmas to come here, and I'm so happy I did!! We are going to get the monthly package here on out. We have a 1 year old Golden, and our first time here was a Golden party. It's so cute & fun. Super easy process. Safe. Great staff. My dog loves coming here. I've been able to watch football games and have a beer as my dog runs around from inside to out while making friends. Love it.

  • 4/5 Frank G. 5 months ago on Google
    Love the place! Couple recommendations from a customer's perspective 1. Clean the interior more frequently. It smells horrific. Its a merry-go-around for dogs as soon as one dog starts peeing inside. Staff's olfactory senses might have been desensitized. But we love stay indoors in warm and away from the rain. 2. Introduce a open pen for some trouble makers in the open space. Not all of puppers are molded into a model citizens, but we love to see them play and get social. Maybe like a long leash that allows them to social but keeps them close so they don't fly everywhere. (maybe that will work?) 3. Sell ads for dog trainers! Get staff trained on how to give better guidance to owners and dogs. Too many times I've seen bad behaving puppers getting sent home and never come back because the owners are terrified. You are losing customers!

    A fun indoor and outdoor play park for dogs. Our corgi loves meeting new dogs and spending lots of time playing and chasing them. The staff are amazing people, super friendly and professional, they keep the facilities very clean and the bar well stocked.

    Our dogs favorite place. We try to come at least twice a month for them to romp about while we sit in the cabanas and chill with a drink. Super clean, great owners.

    I went once and my dog had a good time. However I decided to go back today, and I didn’t even enter the place. I just turned around and left. Why? Because the area didn’t seem safe to me. I hadn’t seen so many drugged/intoxicated people together except for downtown Seattle. Plus, there were tents and personal belongings a block away, and more intoxicated people at the bus stops around. I didn’t want to leave my car there. Wow. What a shame for a lovely business.

    What an AMAZING place!! Our old girl had a blast. Staff is great, and its wonderful to sit outside with an adult beverage and watch all the dogs living it up!

    I bet this is one of the coolest places you’ll ever go together with your dog. Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff, patrons are always fun, and beer and cider are available as well. 10/10 recommend.

    Great place to take your pups, have a drink and relax. Staff are professional and awesome, dogs all are having fun. There's an inside and outside section, for both big and small dogs. They have big tvs and watch all the big Seattle sports

    Pro tip - you absolutely do not need a dog to come here and get your seratonin fix playing with some beautiful friendly dogs, chatting with their owners, and trying some great cider/drinks. The staff here are very funny and kind as well. As someone who lives in an apartment with strict rules against pets, this place is a lifesaver.

    Excellent place with amazing staff and good vibes! There's an indoor and outdoor area which has been great for the pandemic because we can chill and drink outside with our pup under a covered seating area.

    The place is spacious. Indoor and outdoor. Friendly staff and doggos. Without any intent to judge, the smell of the place was very intense. It was not a smell of dogs but a smell of a space that had not been cleaned properly. Therefore, I couldn't stay there longer than 40 minutes. We have attended to other dog yards, and they don't have this smell. I wonder why this is.

    Our pup loves it and we do too. Great staff, good drink selection and lots of free entertainment watching the dogs play!

  • 5/5 Lisa Z. 5 years ago on Google
    My dog loves Dogwood. It’s a great place to let him run around especially during the dark, damp Seattle winters. Plus, I get to enjoy a drink while he does it! There’s an indoor space as well as an outdoors space. People are really great about keeping an eye on their dogs and cleaning up after them. If it’s your first time, be sure to bring vaccination records!

  • 5/5 Hesper Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place to bring your dog to let out some energy. The staff is very wonderful. They can spot when dogs are starting to be rough and help redirect them. If dogs are overly rough and continued to be a problem they will be asked to come back another day. This place also has drinks and snacks available for purchase. An excellent place to come in the winter rainy days, they offer indoor play area and towels!

    We had been wanting to visit for a while now and finally made it and we were not disappointed! Very big area inside and out for dogs to play. We visited for the Halloween party and we had a blast (the announcer for the costume contest was 10/10, loved it). We live in Portland but will definitely be making trips up again in the future! I'm not the biggest fan of dog parks so having a place that requires vaccinations for dogs and keeps a welcoming environment for them is well appreciated.

  • 5/5 Nichole M. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going to the play park for over a year and now we got into daycare there. Hands down the best dog bar, daycare/play park in Seattle. I live so close, people working there are friendly, on top of situations and seem to love their jobs. Highly recommend

    Such a great place to hangout. We were recently there for a birthday party and it was so cute. My dog Scooby absolutely loved it. There is a lot of room for the dogs to play and the staff are so friendly and nice. We will definitely be going there as often as we can. 🥰

    My dog Tate and I are the biggest fans of Dogwood! She goes to school a few days a week and we do open play a couple days during the week. She is a very nervous dog - however - when she’s at Dogwood she is beyond confident and happy! Everyone who works at Dogwood is so kind and thoughtful and they go out of their way to make sure we both have the best time. The facility itself is very clean and very well maintained and the drink selection is awesome. Tate has been part of the daycare and membership offerings for 7yrs!
