A new circular walking path with pet-friendly features is being developed in Middletown at Pieper-Olson Vet, now part of the Connecticut Valley Associates network.
The original hospital, housed in a farmhouse, is being expanded and construction continues throughout the winter.
The path will eventually feature several fenced play yard areas, bird-friendly plantings, benches and other diversions for walkers and their companions. Meet-ups for fellow walkers can be arranged.
The walking path is open at present and the loop skirts the entire property.
