This week, Hey Salt Lake Readers have the recs on where to take your dog in Salt Lake. Plus, some of the best local jobs hiring now.

Pet-Friendly Recs

“The People’s Coffee! Dogs are welcome inside. They have a water dish outside and a jar of the big milk bones inside, which are basically the canine equivalent of a king-size candy bar. Good coffee, too.” — Kate W.

“I found the best veterinary care! Dr. Justin Manning at Wasatch Springs Animal Hospital helped my dog with their allergies when no one else could. He is also fabulous with older dogs and suggestions on food and supplements. If you can’t make it to Wasatch Springs he also sees patients on Thursday afternoons at Kaysville Veterinary Hospital.” — Kendyle B. 

“Fisher Brewing Company is great! The crowd there seems to love it, too. Handle Bar is also a lovely choice. You can request a burger for your dog, it is quite large by the way.” — Mellissa P.

Job Postings

“My small biz, You Goat This, is looking for part-time help running after-school programs (and later, summer camps) where we take kids to boulder, hike, play, picnic, skate, swim, explore, etc. Are you a goat getter? YGT offers solid pay, flexibility, growth, and a fun work environment.” — Nick V.

“Work in the best, most exciting industry and live in the most beautiful state as Marketing & Promotions Director at The State Room. Enjoy the outdoors AND as many concerts as you can handle!” — Darin P.
