Toronto

The best dog-friendly places, picked by locals and the Doggo team.

Home Destinations

Toronto is a big, green, dog-loving city — 70-plus off-leash parks, a ravine network made for long walks, and a patio culture that mostly welcomes a well-behaved dog. The catch is the climate: plan for genuinely cold, salted winters and humid summers. This is the Doggo team’s guide to a great dog life in the 6ix.
