Puppy Parent Review #1

In this new 'feature' I would like to share my opinions on everything doggy related! I will start reviewing things I think will help out other dog owners. I am no expert but I would like to think I am a knowledgeable dog owner! I will review everything from dog parks in the Ottawa area, toys, food or accessories. I hope they will be of help to you and as always comments are welcomed!




Review #1: Bruce Pit Dog Park!

   Bruce Pit is Ottawa's largest and most popular dog park. It is a place where you will always find lots of dogs no matter the day or time! Chloe and I visit usually a few times per month. There is lots of parking available. The park is located far off the highway, you have to walk down a path to get to the main field area. My suggestion if you don't trust your dog off leash around cars is to leave him or her on leash until you reach the field, this is what I do. The park is not fully fenced but it is so far off the road I personally do not find this an issue. Bruce Pit consists of a large field that branches off into many trails that go into the forest. There is an endless amount of trails but all meet up and it is fairly open so impossible to get lost. The main trail loops around once and leads you back to the field. There are also ski trails you can go on in the summer that go even further. This is a great place to bring your dog to blow off some energy! I have seen every breed from Yorkie to Mastiff and the people are usually very friendly as well. The park is clean and has bag dispensers along the trails. Overall it is a great park if you want to see a lot of dogs. There is an endless amount of trails if this is what you want or a large field with benches if you would rather socialize with other owners as you watch your dog play.It is located in the Nepean area, close to Bells Corners, on Cedarview Road.
