Can y'all tell me about which beach is dog friendly
How are the vets in Panama
I read that there are a ton of dead animals in and around the country, why is that? Don't the people care about there pets?
I have a service dog and would like to hear how I will be treated if I take him out and about?
Are service dogs allowed in stores on buses in taxis at restaurants ect...
In a restaurant we would buy a meal for him, so it wouldn't be just the money from us that they would get
Hopefully I'll hear some good things from you all

I think all beaches are dog friendly.
I've only had dealings with one vet here, and a spay and neuter clinic but found the care appropriate and kind.
Ton of dead animals?? Huh? I think I've seen one dog by the road in five years and I ride my bike all over the place.
I don't know about service dogs, or any dogs in general on buses or taxis but I don't ride buses much and haven't had occasion to take a dog in a taxi.  I've seen many dogs in restaurants, some with people and some who were just wandering around town.

you will have no problems with your service dog as long as you dont go into a shopping mall or a restaurant with it, public spaces for pets are fine, and few cafes and/or restaurants allows you to hang out with pets, those places are not the typical indoor kind of restaurant. Vets are OK but there are almost no vet specialized on exotics,90% of them can only deal with dogs and cats.

"dog friendly places"



one of those sites advices to call beforehand just to be sure.

Regarding beaches, I have seen dogs and even horses in 90% of panama beaches, and Ive visited quite a bunch.
