May is National Pet Month, and here at Watermark Beach Resort, we understand that your furry friend is a cherished member of the family. That’s why we’re proud to be a pet-friendly resort, offering a welcoming environment for your canine companion to join you on your lakeside vacation. Pets are welcome at Watermark Beach Resort!
We know bringing your dog along can add a whole new layer of fun and relaxation to your trip. But it’s also important to ensure their comfort and well-being while you’re away from home. Here’s how Watermark Beach Resort goes the extra mile to make your dog feel right at home.
Making Your Pet Feel At Home
Upon arrival, your furry friend will be greeted with a special welcome package that includes essentials to get them settled in quickly. This may contain additional surprises, information about the resort, and any local pet-friendly regulations. Imagine the tail wags when they discover:
Bowls: We provide food and water bowls to save you from packing extra baggage.
Welcome Treats: Who doesn’t love a delicious treat to start a vacation?
Preparing For A Pet-Friendly Vacation
Remember to Pack the Essentials: While we provide some comforts, don’t forget to pack your dog’s favourite bed, leash, toys, food, treats and any medications they may require. Familiar items can help them adjust to their temporary home-away-from-home.
Plan Activities Together: Factor in plenty of playtime and walks during your stay. The fresh Okanagan air and scenic surroundings are perfect for creating lasting memories with your canine companion.
Research Pet-Friendly Restaurants and Wineries: Osoyoos boasts a vibrant dining scene, and many restaurants and wineries welcome well-behaved, leashed pups on their outdoor patios. A popular choice is the District Wine Village.
Beyond the Beach: Unleashing Adventure
While the sparkling waters of Osoyoos Lake are a major draw, there’s a whole world of adventure waiting for you and your four-legged friend beyond the beach. Here are some ideas to get your tail wags wagging:
Hit the Trails: Explore the many dog-friendly trails that weave through Osoyoos and Oliver. Enjoy scenic walks with breathtaking views and fresh Okanagan air.
Paddle Power: Feeling adventurous? Rent a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) and explore the calm waters of the lake with your dog by your side.
Unleash the Explorer: Visit nearby parks like Le Roux Provincial Park or Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre, both offering designated off-leash areas for your pup to run free.
Wine & Wags: Many Osoyoos and Oliver wineries boast pet-friendly patios. Enjoy a wine tasting while your dog relaxes in the sunshine (remember to call ahead to confirm pet policies).
