Where To Walk And Stay With Your Dog In Ottawa
Ottawa wraps a walkable capital in a Greenbelt of forest and river, and dogs get the run of a lot of it. You can hit the forested trails of Gatineau Park across the river, let them loose at the Greenbelt off-leash areas of Conroy Pit and Bruce Pit, then walk the canal pathways back through the centre. This is our working guide to the best of it, and the certified hotels that genuinely welcome your dog.

Dog Friendly Bars & Restaurants In Ottawa
Looking for dog friendly bars, restaurants, cafes or taprooms in Ottawa? Here is the honest answer: Canadian health law keeps dogs out of nearly every indoor bar and restaurant in the country, Ottawa included, so in the warmer months a licensed patio is your best bet. It is a rule that badly needs changing, and Let Dogs In is our campaign to welcome well-behaved dogs into Canadian bars and taprooms, the way they already are across Europe.
