Local Dog Notes
San Carlos markets itself as the “City of Good Living,” and for dogs that mostly means shaded neighborhoods, friendly sidewalks, and parks spaced just right for quick breaks. Burton Park anchors downtown with lawns and trees; it’s leash‑only but social. For longer outings, the city edges into trail systems above Alameda de las Pulgas, and the Bay Trail is a short drive for flat conditioning walks. Off‑leash enclosures are limited in town, so many locals hop to Seal Point (San Mateo) or Shore Dogs Park (Redwood Shores) for fenced play. Laurel Street’s patios are dog‑friendly and vibrant during weekend brunch; bring a mat and practice settle‑and‑stay amid strollers. Parking is easy in the downtown lots, and summer evenings are perfect for gentle loops — warm but not hot, with a dependable bay breeze. Lastly, even though dogs are not allowed off-lease, Arguello Park offers amazing hiking trails for you and your dog all under shaded oak trees.
