I had an email from one of the owners of the Kwik Kopy Design and Print Centre on Strawberry Hill here in Halifax who wanted to let me know that their resident greeters - yellow lab Rose and black lab Gollum - LOVE to greet their customers' dogs when they bring them into their store!  Isn't that wonderful?  And if you don't bring your dog with you, Rose and Gollum are willing to part with a milk bone to take home to your dog! haha!  Now that is dog-friendliness at it's best.  So I'd say that Kwik Copy is a shining example of what pet friendly businesses are like - but the owners really understand because they have dogs themselves - and those are 2 lucky dogs!  They have a website as well at http://www.halifax.kwikkopy.ca/  Brian and Lynne's store is at 3606 Strawberry Hill and their phone number is 902-453-5151.   These guys are SO dog friendly that their dogs have their own blog!  Rose and Gollum have their blog at http://kkdogs.wordpress.com/ - you should check it out!

Where is a good place to put a pet detective?   I have no idea - so the miscellaneous page is where I'm putting her!  Her services are really important though - so I didn't want to NOT put her somewhere!  Her name is Vicky Vaughn and she is a "Missing Animal Response Technician" certified by Pet Hunters International (Now the Missing Pet Partnership) - her website is at http://www.petdetective.ca/  and she's also got tips on what to do when your pet goes missing.

Tiffany and her dog Gator said that both the Petro Canada and Ultramar on Victoria Road in Dartmouth allow dogs, no questions asked!  It's great that Dartmouth also has dog-friendly places popping up too, eh?

Pam emailed me to let me know that the Irving Mainway in Clayton Park - the one that's across the street from the Home Depot that's almost inside Bayer's Lake is also dog friendly - and they keep dog treats behind the counter for dogs coming in!  She says it's a great way to combine a snack attack with a dog walk - I've said in other spots on my website that Clayton Park is one of the dog friendliest spots in the HRM - and this just proves it once again! haha!

Cathy says that the Ultramar on Inglis Street is very dog friendly - and they even have treats behind the counter for the dogs!

I've gotten emails now from a couple people about the Iron Dog Fitness Store out in Bayer's Lake - and what they call their "open dog policy" - haha!  I also know that they've sponsored free stuff for a couple of dog rescue functions that I've been to - so their dog friendliness is very high!  I suppose with the word DOG in their name they'd have to be, right?  They sell fitness equipment - which includes treadmills - and if you're a Cesar Millan afficianado, then you might want to get your dog fitted for a treadmill while you're out there too! haha!.  Thanks to Cheryl and Quiggly for sending me an email and Tanya and Tony (her dog) for sending me emails about the store!

Some Honda vehicle look remarkable dog friendly - and it would seem that their businesses are ALSO dog friendly - I remember when I had my Honda Civic and used to take it to Colonial Honda on Robie Street that I could take my dogs Charlie and Leonard in with me when I was dropping off or picking my car up for servicing - and I've gotten an email from Scott and his dog Rosco telling me that Portland Street Honda in Dartmouth is ALSO dog friendly!  So if you're thinking about buying a new vehicle that's good for dogs - and that has after care that's ALSO dog friendly - you shoud buy a HONDA! haha!

I had an email from Carol that she's been to Leon's over in Dartmouth and found out that they're dog friendly!  I know that they have dogs in their commercials - well it turns out that you can have dogs in their store too!  Neat.
