In Quebec, as elsewhere in Canada, dogs are part of the family. And when the time comes to plan a nature getaway, one question often comes up: “Can we bring our four-legged companion?”
Good news: in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, it’s possible to enjoy a rejuvenating vacation without leaving your dog at home.
Why choose a dog-friendly destination?
Travelling with your dog means :
- Avoid the expense and stress of a pension
- Enjoying every moment together
- Sharing active outdoor experiences
- Reducing separation anxiety (for you… and for him!)
And in a region like the Fjord, the natural environment lends itself perfectly to escapades with your faithful companion.
The Saguenay: a life-size playground
With its boreal forest, scenic trails and fresh air, the region offers a multitude of places to walk and explore with your dog.
The majestic Saguenay Fjord, renowned for its spectacular scenery, is surrounded by accessible trails where leashed dogs are welcome.
Not to be missed:
- Trails in Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay
- The charming village of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord
- Forest walks with views over the fjord
It’s the ideal place for :
- Walking at sunrise
- Admire the autumn colors
- Enjoy a multi-activity holiday
- Breathe deeply
Staying comfortably with your dog
Choosing dog-friendly accommodation changes everything.
An adapted facility will generally offer :
- Pet-friendly rooms and cottages
