Dog care tips for Vancouver
Keep your dog comfortable through Vancouver's rainy winters and warm summers.
Rain gear matters
Vancouver gets a lot of rain. A waterproof coat for your dog and towels by the door make wet walks manageable.
Trail etiquette
Vancouver has many shared trails. Keep dogs leashed unless in a designated off-leash area and always pick up after them.
Summer beach safety
Ocean currents can be strong. Watch your dog near the water and rinse off salt water after beach visits.
Condo-friendly care
Many Vancouverites live in apartments. Daily walks and regular daycare keep condo dogs healthy and stimulated.
