Looking to explore the area with your furry, four-legged friend? There are many dog-friendly restaurants, pet shops, and parks in Kitsap County. Check out these great places, listed by city below.
Kingston
The Kingston Ale House and D’Vine Bistro are both steps from the ferries to Edmonds and Seattle, and they both offer outdoor seating that your dog can enjoy. Another option is Over the Moon Coffee Roasters, which also permits dogs on their patio. Just a few blocks up the road, Downpour Brewing loves dogs so much that they have a Polaroid wall of local dogs. You’ll often see many sweet pups there while watching a game or listening to live music. Many dogs love stopping at The Cup & Muffin, a tasty drive-thru with fresh bagel sandwiches, salads, coffee, and more. Why do dogs love it? The friendly staff there are known for giving dogs treats.
If you’re looking for a spot to let your dog run, check out Kola Kole Park or A Quiet Place Park. A Quiet Place Park is a wooded trail up the hill from downtown, whereas Kola Kole is closer to the ferry, grassy and open. Adjacent to the ferry terminal, Saltair Beach is a beautiful place to let dogs play. Please remember to clean up after your pets and follow all posted signage and rules regarding leashes.
If you live in the area and need products, grooming, or training services for your pup, visit the locally-owned Country Pet Shoppe.
Bainbridge Island
If you’d like to explore the area a bit with your dog, Bainbridge Island is also very dog-friendly. The family-owned pub/restaurant The Plate and Pint is advertised as dog-friendly, and Rolling Bay Cafe is, too, with some outdoor seating. Pegasus Coffee House and Coquette Bake Shop are pet-friendly as well. If the day is winding down and you’re looking for a nightcap, check out Bainbridge Brewing or Fletcher Bay Winery.
In addition, Bainbridge Island is home to two great dog parks. Strawberry Hill Dog Park and Eagledale Park both have an off-leash area. After letting your dog run around a bit, get them a sweet treat or a new toy at B.I. Barkery!
Poulsbo
Another fun city to explore with your pet is Poulsbo. Frank Raab Park is a fun spot to take your dog. The 21-acre park includes walking trails and an enclosed off-leash dog area.
Poulsbo also has a number of dog-friendly restaurants. Western Red Brewing, The Brass Kraken Pub, and Valholl Brewing are just a few of the many places with patio seating. There is also Caffe Cocina and Poulsbohemian Coffeehouse for those looking to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee outside with their dog.
The NW Dog is another cute shop where you can buy toys or book a service, such as nail trimming, for your pup.

Located in Silverdale Rotary Gateway Park, Silverdale Dog Park is a nice spot to walk your dog. It also has two enclosed spaces. Bremerton Bark Park, established in 2005, is another good place to visit.
