Are you searching for activities to enjoy with your dog? Of course, you are!
We're dog lovers, too, so we get it. You want to have a great time without leaving your dog alone - and lonely - at home.
That's why we created Barks and Bites: Doggie Crawl on the Beltline, now entering its third year in 2025. This restaurant crawl is all about your dog! We bring your pup out to eat at 2 dog-friendly restaurants, and take them shopping at 2 pet boutiques along the scenic Beltline. While your dog enjoys special treats, you’ll get to savor some bites of your own and explore the city’s most dog-loving spots. Your ticket covers all the tasty bites — for both you and your pup.
And we know you probably want to bring a friend or family member to share in all this cuteness - so we give them a discounted price, and they get to eat too.
We start by serving your pup a "Barkarita" made from Brutus Bone Broth, which has lots of nutrients to help dogs be their healthiest. They then get off-menu items prepared just for them by restaurant chefs, followed by a pup cup for dessert.
The lineup of restaurants and menus rotates, but past crawls have featured gourmet doggie dishes like hot dogs, burgers, chicken strips and even a chicken Philly cheesesteak made just for dogs. All menu items are designed for doggie digestion, with harmful ingredients removed.
Between restaurants, we take a stroll down the Beltline, and stop at Woofgang Bakery & Grooming and The Clean Dog, so your pup can pick out their favorite toys and treats for you to take home, if you wish.
You'll get also swag bags with goodies from local and national pet brands, such as Piedmont Bark, Ruby’s Rootin Snootin Snuffles, Brutus Bone Broth, Farmina Pet Foods and more.
Not sure about the forecast? No worries. The Doggie Crawl is held rain or shine unless it's severe weather. If it rains, it's your pup's chance to show off their raincoat!
Charitable Contributions
In 2024, the Doggie Crawl supported 8 animal rescue organizations, mostly in metro Atlanta. In 2025, we are proud to donate a portion of our proceeds to the Atlanta Humane Society and Furkids, supporting the welfare of dogs and cats in our community. So you can feel good, knowing your dog is helping other animals in need.
Route Details
This year, we focus on the vibrant areas of Inman Park and Old Fourth Ward, to give you a scenic experience of the Beltline.
Make Dog-Loving Friends
Barks and Bites is a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow dog lovers and enjoy a day filled with fun, food and furry friends!
Celebrating Your Dog's Barkday
This crawl is a great way for your dog to celebrate their birthday! They'll get lots of yum-yums.
And if you want to make their day extra special, select the Barkday Pawty Pack when you book. It's lovingly put together by Woofgang Bakery & Grooming - your pup will get a barkday hat and bandana, birthday bone cookies, treats and more. It's the paw-fect way for them to strut their stuff on the Beltline!
You can even invite their doggie friends to join you. Or contact us if you want to book a private event.
Dress Your Dog in Style
We encourage your doggie to come in their best or funnest dress for the Doggie Crawl, whether it's their favorite sweater, whimsical T-shirt or bling tiara. Who says the Beltline isn't a runway?
