Head to Piston Broke Brewing, where you and your dog can spend the evening relaxing on the patio. With water dishes for them and locally brewed craft beer for you, this patio is the perfect place to kick off your pet-friendly weekend. Plus, Piston Broke Brewing offers a great selection of pub food, including specialty poutines, so your arrival night dinner is sorted!
If you forget any of your pet essentials or trip must-haves, don’t stress! Head to Pet Valu after dinner to pick up anything you might have forgotten for your pup’s weekend adventure. The Brooks location is open late from Monday through Saturday, so you can travel easily knowing that everything your pet needs for a great trip away is conveniently located nearby.
Day 2:
Make the most of a full day in the Region with your pet! Start the day off right with a coffee and baked goods from The Steaming Cup before taking your pooch on a morning hike through Dinosaur Provincial Park. After the hike, spend the day at Rolling Hills Reservoir Campground Dog Beach, where you and your pet can relax on the beach or frolic in the sand while making other furry friends at this on-leash dog beach.
Day 3:
Before heading back to the hustle and bustle of everyday life, take your pup for one more adventure walk along Kinbrook Marsh Nature Trail in Kinbrook Island Provincial Park. Enjoy a serene morning stroll around the shoreline, spotting the diverse wildlife that calls the marsh home.
As a final treat for your fur baby, check out Pets N’ Pastures for unique and adorable pet accessories, treats and toys. They deserve it! For anyone with bigger furry friends, Pets N’ Pasture is also a horse lover’s dream, with all the tools and tack anyone could need.
Safety is paramount when traveling with pets. Here are some valuable safety tips to ensure you and your pet have the best – and safest – time possible:
- Plan for regular breaks to allow them to stretch, hydrate, and relieve themselves.
- Never leave your pet unattended in a parked vehicle, as summer temperatures can quickly become dangerous.
- Pack essentials such as food, water, medications, and comfort items, and ensure they are wearing their tags with up-to-date contact information. If you forget anything, be sure to visit Pet Valu or Pets N’ Pastures for all the essentials.
If you’re embarking on an adventure that your pets aren’t welcome on, check them into The Pack. The Pack is an animal boarding facility that offers both daycare and boarding experiences, so you can rest assured that your pet is well-taken care of during their stay.
We hope you enjoy your pet-friendly stay in the Brooks Newell Region! Be sure to come back soon!
