Dog Friendly Areas
Where to Get a Permit In Chicago
Dog Friendly Area Permit Applications are available at participating veterinarian offices (see link to list below). The Chicago Park District, with the cooperation of the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association, developed a process for distributing permits for our Dog Friendly Areas (DFAs).
Permits are available at the offices of participating veterinarians for a cost of $10 per dog.
