Our 2nd Annual Dog Days of Summer event on June 20th was a huge hit. We made it through the heat and beat the incoming storm. So many amazing dogs attended (as well as their owners), and we handed out 50 Sniffari Bags with Maps for our SNIFFARI MAP Launch.

SNIFFARI Map
![](https://downtownstratford.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/BIA-banners-46-1024x674.png)
We launched our SNIFFARI MAP: A map designed for dogs that offers them the most incredible enrichment experience while they wander through the downtown streets. THE NOSE KNOWS when it comes to our furry friends. Follow our mascot “Ford” as he takes in Downtown and leaves his Sniffari Nose decals in the best spots to stop. MORE HERE!
The first 50 dogs to arrive at our event received a Sniffari Swag Bag, which included the newly launched map, as well as treats and items to help enhance your dog’s experience. A huge thank you to our swag bag donators: Pawsitive Difference Professional Pet Care, The Barkery, Pure Pets, Ruffins, Paws on Patrol, Farmina Company, Heather Weiler – Nutram Brand, The Livery Yard, The Doggijuana Company. The Swag Bag itself was made locally at Mosaic Outfitters. Thanks to the bag sponsors: Pawsitive Difference, The Barkery, and Connection Chiropractic
