Pet Friendly Kootenays
Your pet isn’t just a pet, they are part of your family. Yes?
Let’s find out how much you’ve taken that to heart with a little quiz, shall we?
Do you:
- search out events they can have fun at?
- look for places where they can do their favourite things?
- celebrate with them on their birthdays and holidays like you would a (human) member of your household?
If you said yes to all three of these questions, then congratulations; your furry friend is indeed full-fledged member of your family (go ahead, give yourself a pat on the back).
Missed the mark but justifying it because you play catch with them regularly? That’s a good start. But if we’re talking family-level activity, consider these points:
For a significant other’s birthday, wouldn’t you take them to dinner or check out the community calendar to find if their favourite band was in town? If you have children, wouldn’t you look for special ways to surprise them by taking them to parades or the pool for an afternoon of swimming?
It’s what you do for family, right?
So, if you’ve been neglecting that part of your pet’s life, it’s time to get your actions in line with your words. Here are just a few places around the Kootenays to make it happen:
RACES 0 Golden BC
You take your dog out when training for an upcoming 10k, right? But then leave them at home on race day? With all that training in, let them get some competition time in, too.
Golden gives canines the chance to get competitive during their annual Canada Day Kicking Horse Country Dash. Starting and finishing in Golden’s “Spirit Square”, the timed 5k and 10k event utilizes the town’s Rotary Trail, which runs along the Kicking Horse River, through forested areas, and past Reflection Lake.
