We all love bringing our furry friends along for errands and adventures, but did you know that even on a 22°C day, the inside of a parked car can reach over 47°C in less than an hour? 😳 Yikes!
Instead of leaving them in a hot car, why not take them somewhere they’re welcome indoors? Here are some pet-friendly spots in the River Valley:
📍 Woodstock
Pet Valu – Treat time! Grab snacks or a toy for your pup at the Carleton Mall.
Feeds 'n Needs – Supplies and an on-site dog wash to clean up after trail adventures.
Canadian Tire & Woodstock Farm Market – Both happy to see well-behaved, leashed pups.
📍 Florenceville-Bristol
Brennan Home Hardware & BMR Besthome Hardware – DIY shopping is better with your dog by your side!
📍 Hartland
Carleton AgriSolutions & Courtyard Hardware (BMR) – Local spots that love leashed furry visitors.
⚠️ Quick tip: Policies can change, so always check at the door. Keep your dog on a short leash and clean up after them!
🐾 Now it’s your turn! Where’s your dog’s favorite place to go in the River Valley?
Share your suggestions in the comments and let’s make a list of the best spots to bring our pups this summer!
