Sniff Scape and the Benefits of Indoor Scent Games for Dogs
For dogs, smelling is an all-in game for the brain and sometimes 45-minutes of focused scent activity is as tiring as a walk in the dog park. I jumped on the opportunity to test this theory with my pup at Sniff Scape, a limited-time pop-up adventure for pups in Kitchener, Ontario.

Take your dog to the water park … once a year. (Fundraising fun for water-loving pups)
Water parks for dogs should be a thing – I think there’s a business opportunity there. Water parks for kids, well, people (let’s not pretend) have become incredibly popular in towns and cities across North American. Whether that’s a small splash pad or full on wave pool, heading to the waterpark on a hot summer’s […]
Take Your Dog to Kitchener, ON: Innocente Pet-friendly Brewery. Cheers.
Five years ago, Innocente Brewing Company opened its doors in Waterloo, Ontario. Two months ago, my dog Victor walked through those doors. Innocente Brewing Company is pet-friendly (presumably dogs, but maybe someone’s brought a cat). We’re in Waterloo, Ontario – the city next to Kitchener and near Blackberry home base Cambridge. In fact, I drive […]

Kitchener Ontario Pet Festival: Dog Lovers Days Indoor Fido Fun
Yes, another dog festival – only this time it’s about some indoor out-of-the-below-zero-temperature fun for excitable housebound pups of all sizes.
February 10 and 11, 2018 saw hundreds of fur families head to this campground’s conference centre to test their dog’s skill on a number of challenges: Agility Lure Course, Speed Lure Course (which my dog Victor trotted despite being a speed demon everywhere else), and an off-leash play area where Victor peed (sorry).
5 Ways to Make Camping (with Dogs) Easier … at Bingemans Camping Resort
When Bingemans Camping and Resort first opened in 1938 in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, Dr. Bingeman, a veterinarian, envisioned a pastoral retreat and hobby farm where city folk could unwind. Three generations later, the multi-use amusement park and conference facility boasting a campground, waterpark and bowling alley is one of the biggest summer attractions in the […]
Travel Kitchener: Dog Bathrobes at First Annual Pet Expo
Victor is channeling his inner Hugh Hefner. Well, not really, he’s fixed. (Victor not Hef). But my dog is rocking his new silk smoking jacket microfiber bathrobe from Hapu, a small company I discovered at Kitchener, Ontario’s first annual Pet Expo in May 2016. Yes, that’s right. I bought my dog a bathrobe. In fact, […]
