What should I bring to a dog park?
Essential items include water and a bowl for your dog, waste bags to clean up after your pet, a leash for entering and exiting the park, and toys if your dog enjoys fetch. It's also wise to have your dog's vaccination records available if required by the facility.
Are there rules for using dog parks in Canada?

Can I bring my puppy to a dog park?
This depends on the puppy's age and vaccination status. Most veterinarians recommend waiting until puppies have completed their vaccination series (usually around 16 weeks) before introducing them to public dog parks. Even then, it's important to supervise interactions closely as puppies can be more vulnerable to injury or overwhelming experiences.
