58 dog-friendly businesses in and around the West Shore

Share

As the temperatures rise, so does the risk of a dog overheating when left alone in a car – even 10 minutes could prove fatal.

Of course we all love our canine companions and want them to accompany us on our adventures whenever we go out – after all, who can resist that cute puppy face that’s always ready for a walk!

Luckily, Victoria is full of stores and businesses that love having dogs around, so you won’t have to leave them at home or in your car. Darcie Jennings of CommuniCanine has compiled a comprehensive list of where you can take your fur babies on outings.
