Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I have been active since we got very busy with the arrival of our first human baby.

We currently living in Vancouver, BC, Canada but are about to move to Ann Arbor, MI. We would love some advice on dog friendly places, vets, pet stores or anything thing else about our new home.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm laughing at you, hope you don't mind ... I'm going to refrain from all the political comments about 'immigrants' one of our politicians has worn that out, sorry.

The real reason I'm laughing is wondering how long you'll stay in the cold-cold of Ann Arbor after the relative warmth of Vancouver?

Welcome back, it's always good to see people we haven't seen for a while. I know the dogs will enjoy the winters of Ann Arbor but that first winter, I think, is going to be a shock to the humans!

It will be an interesting move as we are Canadaians immigrating during this election. Thankfully we grew up in Ontario and are accustom to the cold winters; it has just been a few years. We are excited for Link, the dog, will finally have snow and a backyard to play in.

From some research I did for a potential vacation to MI the whole state seems pretty dog friendly. Way more dog friendly than more southern states. I think you will love it there. It is beautiful. They have a Petco and I also saw good reviews for the Pet Emporium a smaller local pet store. Petco or Petsmart are our major chain pet stores around here. Not sure if they are in Canada or not.
