Pet-friendly Vancouver

With plenty of wide-open parks, miles of winding trails and a population full of active people, it's no surprise that Vancouver is known for being a dog-lover's city.

Ranked #1 in the top 10 in DogFriendly.com's annual ranking of the best dog-friendly cities in North America, Vancouver has proven to be a place that is welcoming to everyone, including pets.

For visitors who love to travel with furry friends, there are dozens of local hotels that welcome pets. In fact, many of the finest hotels in the city open their arms to four-legged customers. Be sure to call your hotel before your arrival for complete information regarding their pet policies.

Know the Regulations for Bringing Your Pet

In Canada, the National Animal Health Program sets the import requirements for bringing your pet into Canada. Be sure to check the regulations before travel and give yourself enough time to obtain the required documentation.
