Atlantic Veterinary College offers advice for dog owners visiting Atlantic Canada this summer

Summer is officially here, and many dog owners will be visiting Prince Edward Island (PEI) and Atlantic Canada with their furry companions to take in the beaches and other tourist attractions. However, a visit to the many dog-friendly beaches can sometimes turn into a trip to the vet.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable vacation for both dogs and their owners, the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) offers some tips for pet safety during summer travels.
