When The Dog Barks.
When The Bee Stings…
Here Are A Few
Of Our Favourite Things…
Like Dog Walks?
Of Course, You Do. (Trick Question.)
Check out our new
Off-Leash Dog Park Map!!
Here’s a map Google (and some of our Pack Members) helped us make of Off-Leash Dog Walks in the Greater Vancouver Area.
Are we missing some?
Let us know by emailing us a Google Map Pin!
Instructions on how to do that are right here!
Wanna’ go-for-a-walk?! Do ya’?
The
Dog About Town — Dog Walk n’ SWAP
Is Coming, March 5, April 2nd!
Tell your humans they’ll meet other Fawn & Moose Pack Members and enjoy a fantastic off-leash park with other handsome dogs (and their people). It’s a great place to pee on stuff, sniff butts and make new frenz.
Tell your people to bring dog stuff they don’t use anymore too! They can swap with others or donate it to our friends at Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS).
We’ll start our walk together (and butt sniffing) at the Uplands Dog Park. Then, we’ll put on our leashes and hit the other awesome sniff-worthy trails that are connected to the park!
People will be taking pictures of us dogs too, so if your people aren’t cool with that, let my people know before we start.
We’re goin’ — rain or shine!
LOCATION:
Uplands Dog Off Leash Park
4441 206 Street, Langley, BC
There’s free parking for about 20 vehicles, plus additional street parking. Please bring a leash and water for us dogs cuz’ we may leave the off-leash park — ok?
— See you there!
Disclaimer: Please keep your dog under control at all times. Fawn & Moose cannot be held responsible for injuries sustained due to poor handling and/or dog aggression. If your dog is anti-social or is triggered by other dogs, please do NOT attend. We will be taking photos of dogs and owners at the event, so please advise us in advance if you are NOT OK with having your photo taken.
Apparently,
There are OTHER great stores for your dog too.
Who Knew?
Here are a few of the OTHER local makers of “dog brands” we like.
Over the past few years, we’ve met some amazing dog-focused brands while flogging our wares in local Vancouver Farmers’ Markets. We’re pretty darn certain you’ll love them too. Go on. Check.
We’ll wait right here.
BOARDING & DAYCARE:
The Howlin’ Hive (in Pitt Meadows)
We take our own good boi, Ditto, there on the rare instances we can’t take him with us on our adventures. They seem to have loads of experience with dog behaviour and are super conscientious. A very clean, and comforting environment with staff who really seem to care.

CLOTHES & GEAR:
Charlie & Mabel
Charlie and Mabel’s owner Mary, makes extra strong Biothane leashes and collars. They’re waterproof and stink-proof and come in a wide array of colours and (wait for it) they do custom work to match your colour theme too!

Leashdog Shop
Megan at Leashedog Shop makes gorgeous ombre cotton rope leashes and adventure-themed hand-stamped metal ID tags too. She’s in Maple Ridge and has quick turnaround times, but alas, no website yet.

Threadz N Tails
Lee Ann at Threadz N Tails makes incredibly soft and comfortable cozies, vesties, hoodies, pyjamas and more in your dog’s measurements. She makes some pretty funky resin dog tags too!

Gibson’s Gourmet Goodies
Vet Tech & Dog Mom Leanne makes natural dog treats with limited ingredients. They’re perfect for dogs with sensitive stomachs or food sensitivities. The fun sayings like “Certified Sass-Hole” and “Branch Manager” have always made us smile. She does custom work, too, (like our own #goplayoutside pumpkin spice treats). She even makes Doggy Birthday Cakes!

DOG GROOMING:
Fur Scents
Our friends, Patrick and Caroline Whelan, are a Langley, BC couple who started Fur Scents around the same time as we started Fawn & Moose Collar Co. They make a completely unique shampoo for dogs. It’s a dry shampoo for dogs! And it comes in 3 great scents, Peppermint, Cedarwood and Lavender. When you can’t do a thorough dog wash in the tub (with an F&M Boojee Bar, of course) Fur Scents offers a quick and easy alternative.
