Montreal Pet Friendly Hotel Guide

You love a city with passion and a deep sense of self. A city that may as well have gone to an artistic university, majoring in history and minoring in fashion design, but reading architecture magazines on the weekend. As you walk the streets of Montreal, you fall in love with its regal attitude and cosmopolitan flair. And is that a plate of poutine you smell in the distance? Oui, oui, it certainly is. With your four-legged friend in tow, you grab a table at a restaurant patio and let the gravy slide down your fingers as a cool breeze plays with your hair. If this isn’t paradise, you ponder, what is? With so many pet-friendly hotels in Montreal, it’s easy to bring your furry family along for your time in the city of a hundred bell towers. Pets deserve a little slice of this bliss, too.

Does Montreal have dog parks?

Yes, Montreal has plenty of dog parks where your pooch can romp freely. Bring Sparky to William Bowie Park, Laurier Dog Park, or NDG Dog Run and let him expend some of that energy he worked up during your travel to the city. Bring a Frisbee and you can get your share of exercise too.

What type of food is Montreal famous for?

Montreal is best known for poutine (French fries topped with gravy and cheese curds), but there is plenty more on the menu if you have any room after a hearty serving of this guilty pleasure. The city also puts together a mean tourtière meat pie, and the bagels are a must-try. Smoked meat and maple pie are among the other local favorites. Many restaurants let your pooch join you in outdoor seating, so fill your dog’s water bowl and grab a chair. Then, let the culinary delights of Montreal take your breath away.

Any advice about what to do in Montreal during the winter with pets?

Even when cooler temperatures crawl into the city, you can still enjoy Montreal in the company of your pets. Best of all, lots of pet-oriented activities are near Montreal dog-friendly hotels.
