We're glad to see so many Canadians choosing to explore our own country this year, because it is truly beautiful. If you are planning a holiday or day trip with your dog to one of our national parks, it's important to know the rules before you go!

Make sure you stick to dog-friendly areas, pack what you might need, keep your pup with you on-leash as required, and leave nothing behind. 🌳🐕🌲💕

Think leash rules don’t apply to your good boi?

We’ve heard it all—“He’s a saint!” “She’d never run!”—but in national parks, every dog must be on a leash. Even the best-behaved pups can spook wildlife, chase animals, or wander into danger.

Professional photography tips you can use 😆💕

How to get 7 puppies to look at you all at once:

1. Start speaking gibberish in the highest pitched voice imaginable.
2. Have a ridiculous amount of liver treats waving in the air.
3. Have a 2nd employee jumping around in the background like a monkey, repeating steps #1 and steps #2.

and tah-dah! There you have it! 📸

Planning a trip or a move with your dog along for the ride? If you'll be flying, there are a lot of important considerations mentioned here, and you don't want any of them to be a surprise on your travel day.

The best thing you can do is prepare well in advance—and not only what you'll need for your dog to be allowed entry to your destination, but for the air travel itself.

Air travel can be a stressful experience for anyone, and this is often seen more significantly in pets than people.

At best, air travel is associated with a prolonged time in a carrier, strange sounds and smells, and a high stress level from those around them. At worst, air travel can be life-threatening if proper care is not taken.

Please be vigilant and take the necessary precautions to ensure your animals are comfortable and safe. Here are some guidelines: https://ow.ly/RLjK50WtiOx

***
Le voyage en avion peut être une expérience stressante pour tout le monde, et cela se manifeste souvent de façon plus significative chez les animaux que chez les humains.

Au mieux, le transport aérien implique un temps prolongé dans une cage de transport, des sons et des odeurs étranges, et un niveau de stress élevé provenant de l’environnement. Au pire, le voyage en avion peut mettre la vie en danger si les précautions appropriées ne sont pas prises.
