Greater Cincinnati is now enveloped in a heavy blanket of snow thanks to Winter Storm Blair, which deposited more than 11 inches of snow in some areas of the region.
Among those most affected? Probably the countless dog-owners who can’t walk their pups without traveling through cold temps and snowy sidewalks.
Do you have a pup in need of somewhere to burn energy amid the less-than-stellar outdoor conditions? Several places have in-store pet policies that allow your furry friend to do just that (PetSmart allows dogs, cats, rabbits, pot-bellied pigs and sugar gliders, just to name a few).
Here’s a list of pet-friendly stores you can take your dog or cat or sugar glider for a snow-less stroll.
