Poopular Dog Park
The HMCC (Hantsport Memorial Community Centre) Dog Park opened in 2013 and is owned and managed by the HMCC. This park is a non-membership off-leash dog park, catered to Hantsport and its surrounding communities. Hantsport is located between Windsor and Wolfville
It is a large fenced-in area, with a running tap for the constant hydration of your puppy. This dog park is a unique and popular piece of Hantsport, as some people travel from Halifax just for a chance for their dog to experience this amazing park.
Gathering Spot
For the past, almost 10 years, this park has been the gathering spot for not only the dogs but their owners too! Given your dog has proper manners, around 3 pm on weekdays is when the park is busy and overflowing with pups
Invisible Fence
Invisible Fence is a business that gives the ability for your dog to roam, with the solutions being in, and outside. They also offer hands-on training and consultations. Protect your pet and your peace of mind. This business is located right in the hub of Hantsport and with the owner being an avid dog lover, this business is most definitely dog-friendly.
Home Hardware
Find everything you need at Payzants Home Hardware and do it with your pup by your side! Leashes dogs are more than welcome at this location with its wide aisles and dog-loving staff, you and your dog will leave with a smile on your face.
The Barking Bean is a cute little Cafe located on the corner of main street Hantsport. As it is a restaurant, and dogs cant be inside where food is served, they have a side area where dogs and their owners can sit and get served. This cafe has a great selection of beverages, delicious sandwiches and wraps, and delectable sweets! They also have a room where they sell pet food, treats, and accessories. At the Barking Bean, they strive to sell quality products as nothing on their shelves is rated less than 5 stars!
Diamonds in the Ruff
Located on the lower level of the Barking Bean Cafe, this dog spa is full-service and will leave your pup feeling truly pampered. They feature aromatherapy and offer soft-touch grooming which will leave your pup in a zen state.
Local Beaches
The town of Hantsport is conveniently located minutes away from the beautiful ocean. Some many beaches and trails are dog friendly and a lovely spots to have a picnic or simply unwind. My personal favourite Blue Beach is located just 8 minutes from the town, with a short and sweet trail, and a breathtaking view.
The province of Nova Scotia is crawling with dog friendly towns. The City of Halifax, has many dog friendly patios, shopping and parks. Rural communities are also embracing the important role our four legged friends now play in our lives. Recent changes to by laws welcome pets on restaurant patios.
