You will definitely notice that Canadians love dogs because of how many people have them in their homes. In fact, it is estimated that there are 7.6 million dogs in Canada, according to the Canadian Animal Health Institute. That is more than the number of children in Canada, which was only 5.8 million in 2017, which shows how much Canadians love their furry babies!
Canada also has some of the best dog fur-iendly places to visit, including hundreds of beaches, restaurants, and parks. You can take your furry buddy with you on any of the BC ferries for a scenic trip across the Strait of Georgia to 47 different ports. They also offer carriage rides with accommodations for your pooch around the waterfront, Beacon Hill Park, and Chinatown.
You and your fur baby will also find some pawesome hiking or biking trails that allow dogs as long as they're leashed and well-controlled. Your pupster will enjoy sniffing the local scents of the wild, and you can enjoy the beauty of the natural Canadian outdoors. Canadians also have some of the cutest names for their canine kids, and we have searched for and listed the top ten here for you.
