What a pawsome way to wrap up the day! 🐾 We stopped by some of our fave locations, and just as we were packing up at Lynn Valley, we met this adorable, super chill fur-iend. 🐶✨

We had a great chat with their humans, who couldn’t stop raving about how much they love the freedom our service gives them—making their shopping trips easy, flexible, and stress-free. Now both can head inside while their pup relaxes like the VIP they are.

Huge shoutout to the pet-loving community for being so amazing and to the incredible store staff for their continued support! Here’s to more wagging tails and happy shopping adventures in the new year! 🎉🐕

Here’s to more pawsitive moments in 2025! Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a fantastic new year ahead.

🐾 For most pet owners, across generations, 🐾

You've heard the terms "fur babies" and "pawrents," right? 🐶🐱

We share powerful emotional bonds with our pets. They bring comfort, safety, and companionship to our lives. However, pet owners face numerous challenges:

💰 Rising Costs: Economic conditions are making pet-related expenses harder to manage.
🏠 Housing Issues: Finding pet-friendly rental housing is increasingly difficult due to restrictions.
🚫 Limited Access: Many public places don't allow pets, which can feel discriminatory.
🏞️ Lack of Amenities: Some governments aren't prioritizing public amenities like trails, parks, and animal welfare.
⚖️ Legal Status: Pets are often seen as property by law enforcement and the court system.

Many organizations and individuals are working to improve policies, budgets, taxation, and laws to support pet families, but these efforts are often fragmented.

It's been an exhilarating couple of days for the PetParker team with so much attention from pet owners, businesses and entrepreneurs everywhere.

Yesterday we officially launched the PetParker service at Granville Island where our advisor - dog trainer and behaviour expert, Holly Chen from Honourable Hound (https://honourablehound.ca/) shared tips and advice to help your dog love PetParker. We hope to share a video of that soon. Guests and visitors also enjoyed the opportunity to take photos with our special guest Snoopy and most people didn't mind that Charlie Brown (Adi) stuck around 🤣

Prior to the event we had the pleasure of interviewing for two articles in the local news including the Vancouver Sun and Daily Hive. You will find links to both stories on our news page (https://www.petparker.ca/news-and-events).

And unbeknownst to us, two viral posts on Facebook generated a total of over 110,000 likes and 23,000 shares which resulted in a lot of excitement and interest for PetParker throughout North America and beyond!
