The holidays are about spending time with your loved ones…and who do we love more than our pets?

The Dog Network shared its list of fun holiday events you can do with your dog in BC, and in Metro Vancouver, there are lots of opportunities to bring your dog some holiday cheer.

If you’re celebrating with your dog this year, here’s where the two of you can have fun this season together.

Canyon Lights is one of the most popular places in Metro Vancouver to see some spectacular holiday lights, and your dog is welcome to join you.

2. The Christmas Store at Potters

Bring your furry BFF with you to finish up your holiday shopping and stock up on some decorations for the season. Potters is dog-friendly and you can get a few cute pics of them shopping while you’re at it.

3. Take photos with Santa

There are a few places that are doing pet photos with Santa for the holiday season, including PetSmart, so your dog can tell Santa if they’ve been good or bad this year.

5. Bright Nights

Take your pup with you to Stanley Park this holiday season, and while you enjoy the lights, they will enjoy the smells of the park and hopefully spot a squirrel or raccoon.
