Vancouver Pet Friendly – Destination That Welcomes You And Your Pet
April 19, 2010
Vancouver is a pet friendly destination, just right for the discerning person who is travelling with their pet. A number of hotels and B&Bs in and around Vancouver cater to pets and their owners.
Most areas in Vancouver and the surrounding areas have off leash parks while pets are welcome on the beaches and most areas from October to April. One of the best off leash play areas is in Blackie Spit at Crescent Beach. Blackie Spit is also a wonderful place for bird watching with over 200 species recorded. While you’re there, you can stroll along the promenade, go shopping or grab a bite to eat at Crescent Beach.
A pet friendly place to stay near Vancouver is Dancing Firs, a high-end bed and breakfast overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The resident guard dog is a Yorkshire terrier called Molly who welcomes all visitors and friends. A pure black kitty called Shandy also lives there and greets all guests in the first half hour, a dream job that pays her quite well.
Molly and Shandy have special magnetic pet pads to rest on and enjoy the alkaline water and ionised air. They love romping around in the garden, forest and beach within the grounds of Dancing Firs and have a wonderful time every day.
Dancing Firs offers guests and their pets three private suites to choose from. Each suite has its own private hot tub with 180 degree views of the ocean.
Value added amenities include a full gourmet breakfast every day, a well stocked guest pantry, guest library with books, magazines and videos, fresh flowers in each suite, high speed internet access and free long distance calls to North America.
Dancing Firs is only ten minutes from the U.S.-Canada border and an easy drive of 30-45 minutes to downtown Vancouver and its attractions.
Why not take your pet along the garden path and down to the edge of the ocean? Or perhaps you would both enjoy a stroll along the forest path where you may encounter a resident raccoon? You may even be lucky enough to take a photo of one of the raccoons who visit regularly in the evening.
Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest is just minutes away and is a great place to enjoy some time with your best friend.
Dancing Firs offers everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. It’s the perfect place to refresh, recharge and rejuvenate. You can even book an in-suite spa treatment if you desire, or visit one of the local spas.
There are plenty of dining options to choose from in the local area such as French, Japanese, Mexican, American and of course, seafood! If you don’t feel like dining out, you could grill on one of the outdoor barbecues that are available to guests.
So if you’re looking for a Vancouver pet friendly place to stay, Dancing Firs may be for you. Why not take a video tour of the property right now and see for yourself just how special it is?
