Hi Lonnie,

Prince Edward Island is a great place to explore with your dog. Many beaches, trails, parks, and outdoor spaces welcome pets, making it easy to include your four-legged companion in your Island adventures.

Dogs are permitted in PEI provincial parks and on provincial beaches year-round, provided they are kept on a leash and owners clean up after them. This gives visitors plenty of opportunities to enjoy scenic beach walks, explore coastal landscapes, and experience the Island's natural beauty alongside their pets.

If you plan to visit PEI National Park, there are restrictions to be aware of. Dogs are welcome in camping and picnic areas when leashed, but they are not permitted on National Park beaches between April and October. These seasonal restrictions help protect sensitive habitats and at-risk plant and animal species that depend on the park's coastal ecosystems.

Beyond parks and beaches, you'll find a growing number of pet-friendly accommodations, shops, patios, and tourism operations across Prince Edward Island.

We hope you and your furry travel companion have a wonderful visit to Prince Edward Island and enjoy everything our gentle Island has to offer! 🐾

Cheers,

Rod
