In general the Villages is a dog friendly place, but be careful at the dog parks. Many owners go there to socialize and don’t watch or have any control over their poorly behaved pets, letting them terrorize other dogs. Also, in Florida (especially if you use dog parks), get your dog preventative medication for hookworm. It’s not a common intestinal parasite up north, but it’s very common in Florida. It’s spread through feces and easily transmitted by a dog stepping in it and then licking its paws.
