FOR THE DOGS

As a dog owner and lover, I am especially surprised and thrilled when I find businesses and companies that are pet-friendly and allow my four-legged friend to tag along. Aside from the obvious pet supply stores, I’ve compiled a list of shops and establishments on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland where all are welcome.

If you’d like your business listed here, please send me an e-mail with the information.
