While New Braunfels is a great place to bring your dogs, the safety and comfort of your furry friend come first! Texas summers are notoriously hot... even without a fur coat! Fortunately, there are plenty of places to cool down in the shade or splash in the water during the hottest hours of the day.
Most restaurants will provide a bowl of fresh, cool water (and maybe even a treat!) to keep Fido hydrated and happy. Many river outfitters will allow you to rent a tube for your dog, but be sure Fido is prepared for a long day on the water!
If you plan to float, paddleboard, kayak, canoe, or raft with your dog, we suggest bringing some essentials:
- A leash – Comal Country requires all dogs to be leashed. Dogs running loose are subject to a fine.
- A dog lifejacket – it keeps Fido safe AND looks adorable!
- Extra water – Would you want to drink river water?
- Dog treats – swimming makes dogs hungry, too!
- A backup plan – not all dogs love water recreation as much as humans!
Now that you know all the best places to bring Fido, it's time to plan your trip to New Braunfels.
