Off-leash areas
No dedicated off-leash park tagged in Port Hardy so far. That is usually a mapping gap, not a real one: pet shops and vet clinics know the informal spots.
In the meantime, the dog walking guide covers parks and routes where leashed dogs are welcome.
Before you head out with the dog
- Paperwork. Rabies certificate and tags in the bag -- kennels always ask, parks sometimes do.
- Default to leashed. Unless a sign says off-leash, the leash stays on; that is the rule in most towns.
- Hot pavement. Summer visits mean early or late walks, and the hand test on asphalt before every outing.
- Emergency number. Put the nearest vet clinic in your phone now, not at midnight when you need it.
Local tip: pet shops and vet clinics are the best source of current local knowledge -- which parks are busy when, which patios genuinely welcome dogs, and which trails to avoid in tick season. Ask; people love sharing.
