Keshia Schow and dogs Lucic and Cherry call Drumheller, AB home for a good reason.
Local shops and eateries are extra hospitable to four-legged guests. Famous for fossils and hoodoos, the region boasts pet-friendly spots like Valley Brewing, Black Mountain Roasters, and even a dog-friendly salon. Lots of accommodations allow pets, too. “We have an adorable little Airbnb down the street from us called Tyrannosaurus Rest,” says Keshia, who supplies the owner with treats for canine guests.
Expert Tip
Lucic and Cherry know how to spot pet-friendly places: Keep an eye out for a water bowl! If in doubt, it’s best to ask if it’s OK for your dog to accompany you into a business. And if you’re visiting in the summer bring a good pair of walking shoes to visit the farmers’ markets.
