KELOWNA, B.C. — Kelowna has topped the charts as the pet-friendliest city in Canada according to a recent study conducted by the publication Canadian Dogs Annual.
“If I were a dog, that’s where I’d want to live,” says Dana Cox, editor-in-chief of Redstone Media Group, the publisher of Canadian Dogs Annual. “We looked at a wide range of issues that affect our companion animals’ lives. Criteria included access to veterinary care, training, pet sitters, and quality pet products, as well as the number of pet-friendly restaurants and accommodations. We even took into consideration air quality and the number of off leash parks and beaches.”
Cox says Kelowna topped the charts with the best air quality in the country and ranked in the top ten in number of pet centres, off leash parks and pet-friendly lodging.
British Columbia cleaned up in the top ten, with six BC cities making the cut.
The top ten cities are as follows: Kelowna, BC, Victoria, BC, Nanaimo, BC, Vancouver, BC, Kingston, ON, Chilliwack, BC, Guelph, ON, Kamloops, BC, Peterborough, ON and Charlottetown, PEI.
This year’s edition of Canadian Dogs Annual hits newsstands Tuesday, November 25.
