One thing you will notice in North Park is there are lots of people out and about with their dogs. North Park is one of San Diego’s most dog-friendly neighborhoods.  Many of the restaurants and coffee shops are set up so you can bring your dog with you while you have a bite to eat. Many even provide treats for them.  There are several pet stores in the neighborhood, but one of my favorite is The Original Paw Pleasers.
