We are pet friendly! Bring your furry friend to Grassy Creek Winery for a visit. Our trails are a great place for a walk before you stop by the tasting room. You can treat yourself to a glass of award winning wine and we will treat your pup to something special as well!

Keep your animals safe and secure this 4th of July! ❤🎆

Make sure your animals have up-to-date ID tags. If they are microchipped, make sure that the information is current!

Keep your animals inside if you or your neighbors are setting off fireworks.

Be sure to give your pets lots of exercise early in the day, so they’ll be a little worn out before the scary noises start at night. Remember that too much sun and heat (and humidity!) can be dangerous to pets.

Avoid the urge to feed your pets table scraps or other foods intended for people without knowing it is safe.

Keep sparklers, glow sticks, fireworks, charcoal, and kabob skewers away from curious animals.
Loud fireworks, unfamiliar places, and crowds can all frighten animals.

The safest place for them is inside.

Create a safe space in your home. Lower the blinds, close the windows, provide a bed or crate where they feel comfortable, offer a special chew or toy to distract them, and turn on the TV or radio to help mask the noises outside.
