| Yorkie @ Grand Bend |
We took our almost 7-year old Yorkie with us to Grand Bend,
and while there were some limitations, I can say that you will pretty much be
ok to bring your furbaby along.

We stayed at the pet-friendly Bonnie Doone Manor. There was
a pet-fee, but that was not different from any other place we have stayed and
brought our Traveling Yorkie along. There are also other pet-friendly hotels/lodges/inns in
the area.
Walking along Main St., we did not really bring her inside the stores, nor did I see other folks do that. We did a tag-team on
who would stay with her just outside.
For meals, Coco’s clearly called out that they were
dog-friendly, where they can stay right beside you in the patio.

The
Growling Gator would allow you to have your dog tied outside by the grass but
you would be separated by a fence. This arrangement might be fine for your
Fido, but it would definitely stress our Yorkie.
Pizza place and Dairy Dip has outdoor seating where you can
bring your pet. We grabbed some fish and chips over here. They even have a
water bowl to make sure pets weres well-hydrated.
Now, the beach does not allow dogs. Grand Bend is an internationally
recognized blue flag beach which has very strict standards. Dogs are only allowed
in parking areas, on walkways and promenades in the back beach area. However, between
May 15th to September 15th dogs are allowed on the beach before 8am and after
8pm and must be leashed. So, our cutie Yorkie managed to get close to the
waters for our morning walk at 730am!

8Km away, though, at Pinery Provincial Park, they have two
dog beaches and they are awesome! So, you can go there as well!
Overall, the area is a great place to spend time with the whole fam, no matter how many legs they have!
