Pet-Friendly Whistler
Nearly 10,000 people live in Whistler and almost all of them have dogs. Whistler is not only pet-friendly, it's dog crazy. And why not? This is the home of Dog Fest every spring. There are miles of trails, Bowzer beaches at local lakes, pet-friendly hotels and condos and Mountain Hound Lounge - Whistler's only doggie daycare. So sure, bring your best friend... even if you best friend is a cat; we've got lots of pet-friendly accommodation.

Some are located within a tennis ball throw to the lifts, while others are spread around the outskirts of the village and closer to some of the resident trails.
Tips to know before you go:
- Most properties charge extra cleaning fees for pets which vary in cost. Check the property specific info for these charges or ask your reservation agent.
- Properties ask that you do not leave your pets inside the rooms unattended. It makes issues for housekeeping and some dogs will bark. Please check individually with your hotels for details as some will allow you to kennel your pets while out of the room.
- Whistler is generally an on-leash community for parks and trails. Dogs are allowed within the village, but leashes are required.
- There are several great trails for dog walking. In the summer, the Valley Trail, including around Lost Lake is a great place to start. Ask your reservation agent for specific areas which are suited for dog walking.
- Please pick up after your dog; the Whistler Municipality provides plastic bags along the Valley Trail and in designated areas.
- Never let your dog or cat out at night; there are predators that are well adapted to Whistler's environment and will think of your pet as food.
- Pet sitting and day care are available from Mountain Hound Lounge; Alpine Dogs offers supervised off-leash dog hikes (hikes last about 3-4 hours) with pick-up and drop-off service.
- Bringing pets into the country: all dogs and cats are legally required to have current rabies vaccinations and papers. If your dog or cat is less than three months old you do not need a certificate of rabies vaccination. However, the animals must be in good health when they arrive. Dogs can enter Canada without quarantine from any country.
