Maybe your pooch is the perfect purse-size dog, the Bruiser Woods to Elle in Legally Blond. Pawhaps your best fren is more of a lovable, large Beethoven. Whether he’s portable or the size of a small pony, chances are you’d love to have him join you on a shopping spree. We sniffed out 6 dog-friendly Colorado malls for you and pup to shop ‘til you drop.

Shop with scenic mountain panoramas at Aspen Grove in Littleton. Aspen Grove features 50 chain and local retail stores, many of which are dog-friendly and offer water bowls, treatos, and pets for pup. To know if your fave store welcomes four-legged frens, check for dog-friendly decals in the windows. This mall loves dogs so much, they often feature ‘em on their social media pages, so be sure to tag your pics with #AspenGroveLovesDogs.
