Dog friendly stores in and around Greater Victoria

Well, it’s that time of year again when it’s just too hot to safely leave your dogs in the car, even with the windows rolled down.

Lucky for us, many businesses in Greater Victoria are dog friendly.  So if you must take your dog with you, be sure to check out this list created  and shop at stores where your dog is allowed to come in with you rather than leaving them in the car.

Although these stores may be dog friendly, some of their shoppers may not be. Be courteous and respectful and keep your dog on a leash beside you and under control at all times. If your dog goes to the bathroom in the store, it is your responsibility to clean it up. Let’s do what we can to maintain the privilege of taking our dogs to these places with us.
