We are planning a summer road trip to PEI with our dog. What are the best things to do with our furry family member ?

Hi Connor, 

Thank you for reaching out. I am so glad to hear that you are coming to visit with your furry family member! 

Our beaches and trails are great for families with dogs! They are required to be on a leash at all times. Dogs are prohibited from the beaches of the Prince Edward Island National Park but they are welcome in picnic areas and camping areas and along any trails in the park. 

Charlottetown has compiled a list of pet-friendly businesses! 

Check out the Bring Fido and Paws on Patios for a list of restaurants that welcome pets at outdoor tables. 

Be sure to visit the Bottle Houses in Egmont, which is listed in the "1000 Places to See Before You Die" book for the US and Canada. Dogs are welcome to visit!

Does your vacation bucket list include fiddling or a boat cruise? If so, fetch an Authentic PEI Experience reservation with the Fiddling Fisherman where dogs are always welcome aboard his ‘Chaisson A Dream’ fishing vessel.

In the Green Gables Shore region, DogBoat operates private boat tours from Stanley Bridge marina. The family dog, Gilbert, is named the director of entertainment so it's safe to say that well-behaved dogs are welcome on board.

See you soon!

Valerie
