My family moved to Bentonville in August 2021 and we’re loving it here! This of course includes our two dogs, one of which is pictured above. Bentonville is a very dog-friendly city, and was named a top city to visit with your dog in 2019. Here are some places you can bring your dog when you visit Bentonville together.
