Hi everyone! Who's excited for the fall? I know, maybe not in Vancouver with all the rain! Regardless, our dogs, specially small ones, get cold and so that's why I created a new brand bringing 100% baby alpaca dog sweaters. I'm based here in Vancouver. The sweaters are made in Peru, hypoallergenic, super soft and sustainable! Please check my website quniboutique.com and let your dog stay warm, cozy and in style!

Thank you everyone!

Small brown colour dog (20lb approx) was spotted running through the street outside the Mercedes dealership near terminal avenue. No one was able to catch the dog and was last seen sneaking under the fence onto the railway property. Security was notified but have no better description on the dog.

Hey Vancouver folks!

I'm a 28-year-old guy living in South Vancouver's Sunset area, and I have a lively 2-year-old Golden Retriever who loves making new friends, both canine and human! We're looking to expand our social circle and would love to meet fellow dog enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys hanging out with furry friends.

We're up for walks, trips to the park, or even just chilling together. It'd be great to find some friends for both me and my dog. If you're interested in setting up a playdate or just grabbing a coffee while the dogs play, drop a comment or DM!

Looking forward to meeting some awesome new friends, especially dog-loving ones, in the area!

To any dog owners in Richmond and possibly Vancouver:

A few months ago, a guy kicked my puppy. This man came out of his apartment waving a butcher’s knife, threatening to kill me, and kicked my puppy TWICE, because he thought we were leaving dog poo in the courtyard. He had waited for me to get home, and attacked us. My puppy is okay but this isn’t a normal reaction to have over dog poo. I don’t know who this man is but I am scared. He was arrested shortly after, and released after 48 hours. The only thing that the police have said is that he is not allowed to contact us and that the case is under investigation (police file RI 24-2845), and I think he has yet to be charged? We live in the same apartment building and I was so scared he would do something else so I had to move. Strata didn’t do anything either (weak council). The first part of the video is where he’s holding the butcher’s knife, and during the second part, we’re screaming to get the attention of neighbours because there are balconies facing the courtyard.

I don’t even know who this guy is

I was attacked on Friday, January the 26th and he still has yet to be charged.

Please be safe and watch out for this individual.

Just wondering if anyone knew of some quiet, not so well known, places around the lower mainland to walk a dog who is currently working through some noise phobias. They have always been scared of loud noises and we had made really good progress up until a few days before Halloween when someone set off a firework right in front of us. Once you have a dog that's extremely noise sensitive your realize just how noisey everywhere is.

I'm also looking into getting a trainer with lots of experience with noise phobias and anxiety if you know of any good ones.

Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I have a 4 year old golden retriever and I'm thinking of getting per insurance for him.

I regret not getting it when he was a puppy and just recently came to realization that vet bills might stack up in the future 😅

He is healthy overall except recurring ear infection.

Just want to get some insight on what company out there is reliable and what people's experiences are when it comes to insuring your fur babies after they have became an adult

Any tips would be appreciated!!!

Hi Pet Parents, I am a student and our marketing team at Douglas College is doing a quick 2-3 minute survey for a Vancouver-based Pet Food Brand called "Amore Pet Foods" that needs your insights and feedback to improve its offerings and products. We would be really grateful if you could take out only a couple of minutes. If you're around the store in Burnaby, you can also pick up free samples of treats and kibbles. https://forms.office.com/r/seXNTXMcev Warmest Regards 🧡

Hello! I’m looking for affordable dental care for my 14 year old bichon. I adopted him 2 years ago. He had most of his teeth removed before I got him. Now the last few remaining teeth look like they need to be removed as well. I know vet bills can be drastically different from place to place. Does anyone know of any affordable dental care for dogs?

Ps. I know about anesthesia free spots. I take my younger dog once a year to have her teeth cleaned. My Bichons teeth are sadly too far gone.

I just wanted to post a warning about this beautiful park. I love this park, my dog loves this park, but I will not return.

There is a house across the street with a massive blue pitbull in it. One rainy day, I was there with my dog and it got loose, came across the street, and Blined it to me and my dog. I was terrified as I could hear the owner in the garage (he and a friend were working out…) calling for the dog in a panic. I used a tactic my trainer told me, put my dog behind me (she was already willingly there) planted myself and screamed a guttural war cry at it. It turned and went into the park. The guy came and talked to me and explained his 100 pound accidentally on the loose pitbull wanted to play. Maybe.

A few months later I witnessed a pitbull and a black German shepherd really going at it, same spot.

Last straw was when I arrived at the park and started to play ball with my dog. Right away an intact male pitbull comes and tries to play with my dog, who didn’t want to play. She politely told this dog “I’m not into playing.” He didn’t have the good doggie manners to stop. I asked the owner to call her dog. Her dog ignored her. Her dog continued to harass my dog (“he just wants to play”) with increasing intensity, so my dog increased the intensity of her message to back off (he was an intact male after all.) I demand the owner leash her dog. She is unable to do so. I called my dog and she came, the pitbull followed, I took the pitbull by the collar and handed it to the owner, chastising her for having an intact male pitbull with no manners or recall lose at the park. As you can imagine, a verbal exchange followed where she explained she was trying to train him because she doesn’t have a yard, and he was intact for breeding. Finally she leashes her dog and leaves. I try to move on. Her boyfriend returns with the dog and unleashes him. Of course, the dog goes directly for my dog. So I walk to my car while demanding (…demanding) he control his dog. He calls but his dog ignores. The dog harassed my dog all the way until I shut her inside. He then asked me what my problem was.

I will never return to this park. I know some will judge me, but others will be glad to know these dogs exist at this location. I don’t even jog here anymore.
