Sniffari Map in DT Stratford

Introducing our FREE Downtown Stratford SNIFFARI Map. A map designed for dogs to have the most incredible enrichment experience while they wander through the downtown streets. THE NOSE KNOWS when it comes to our furry friends. Let them lead the way by nose as they stimulate, investigate, explore and inhale their best life. Follow our mascot “Ford” as he takes in Downtown and leaves his Sniffari Nose decals in the best spots to stop.

The map not only includes the best spots for your dog to inhale their best life… but it also showcases other important places, such as:

  • Best places to collect dog food and treats, pupcones, puppuccinos, dog beer, etc.
  • Best spots to stop for a pee (or more) for dogs AND humans
  • Poop Bag Dispenser locations
  • Art, swans, al fresco dining
  • Indoor dining/cafe options for dogs (revel, Brch)
  • QR Code that links to our Pet-Friendly Businesses and Patios
  • Other doggie needs (chiropractic treatments, dog spa)

Downtown Stratford “officially” became pet-friendly last year! We launched a big welcome by our dog-friendly downtown business locations! This year these businesses will continue to display their pet-friendly sticker in the window, and offer BIA-branded dog water bowls to our furry friends. FIND THE PET-FRIENDLY LIST HERE

This year we brought back our DOG DAYS OF SUMMER Dog Show for the second time to launch the map and hand out Sniffari Swag Bags (containing the map and more).

This enrichment experience was first introduced to us by Pawsitive Difference’s, Christine Foster READ MORE HERE. She’s mapped out the SWEETEST, most AWESOME sniffing enrichment spots throughout our downtown, with the help of Tilly (from The Barkery) and Pippa & Sully (from Connection Chiropractic). We are so grateful to her for working so hard with us on this project. Thanks so much, Christine!! xo

The DOG DAYS of STRATFORD have definitely begun. Grab your SNIFFARI Map and get out there.
