Vacationing at an Outfitter with Your Dog: Unforgettable Moments Surrounded by Nature

Would you like to escape to the great outdoors with your faithful companion? Nearly 200 outfitters across Quebec open their doors to dogs, some for a small extra charge, others at no extra cost. Going on an outfitter trip with your dog is the perfect opportunity to experience outdoor adventures while enjoying the pleasure of being with your pet. Here are the advantages of this experience!

Why Bring Your Dog to an Outfitter?

1. Companionship and special moments: Sharing outdoor activities with your dog strengthens the bond you already have. Together, you can explore trails, enjoy beaches and recharge your batteries with the fresh air of the great outdoors.
2. A whole experience for everyone: Bringing your dog to an outfitter means you can enjoy your stay entirely without having to arrange daycare or worry about your dog’s well-being. By having your companion by your side, you know he’s happy and can fully enjoy the moment.
3. Physical and mental stimulation: Dogs love new experiences. The landscape’s diversity, the sounds and smells of the forest or the riverbanks stimulate them in a positive way. Walks, swims and outdoor games keep them active and happy.
4. Sharing outdoor activities: Some outfitters offer dog-friendly trails, swimming beaches and even special areas where dogs can freely run around. These facilities allow dog owners to enjoy an unrestricted experience.

Tips for a Successful Stay with Your Dog

• Prepare its equipment: Bring your dog’s usual food, bowls, pillow, first-aid kit, toys, leash and a towel to dry off after swimming.
• Respect the outfitter’s rules: Some outfitters expect dogs to be leashed in certain areas or set periods for dogs to be off leash. Ask the outfitters about these rules.
• Keep an eye on your dog’s health: Check vaccinations and bring anti-parasite products, as the local wildlife may expose your dog to ticks or other insects.

Hunting with Your Family Companion

Man’s best friend also makes a great hunting companion. Whether it’s raising birds, retrieving them or finding wounded game, dogs are invaluable allies that hunters can rely on. If your pet is trained for this purpose, talk to your hosting outfitter about the possibility of having it accompany you.
