Here at Dogs of Charm City, we consider ourselves to be the experts when it comes to all things “dog” in Baltimore, but you— Baltimore pet parents — are no novices. That's why we started the Dogs of Charm City Choice Awards, an annual contest where we rely on our Baltimore dog community to cast their vote for the very best dog-friendly spots around Baltimore.
