There are plenty of places on Long Island that welcome and cater to canines, including the Competition Auto Group. We’ve compiled a list of dog-friendly destinations that are perfect for you and your pup.* According to Nancy Hassel, President and Founder of American Pet Professionals, a Long Island-based organization that unites all pet professions: “Dog ‘parents’ expect to be able to bring their dogs with them on outings, leashed and well behaved of course! Many local businesses are rolling out the red carpet for pets, and there are experts available to help non-pet businesses become pet-friendly.”
