Was out for an afternoon walk with Lola (my Wheaten Terrier) this past Monday here in Toronto. It was a gorgeous day, sunny and warm, so we strayed a little further than usual on our walk to explore a different area of the neighbourhood. Before we knew it, it was too hot out! I forgot to bring along some water for Lola, and didn't know where I could find the nearest drinking fountain.

This led me to wonder, does anyone know of a source of info on drinking fountains? Usually drinking fountains are in parks. So a better question is, how do you all get information on parks, or specific dog parks in Toronto, or your home city? I guess that's the consequence of exploring and not really knowing about the new territory Lola and I are walking in.

I google every thing, that's how I find a lot of things, but also ask at local pet stores.

Contact the Parks department itself and ask if they have a map or listing of water fountains. Since they turn them off and on seasonally, there should be a list somewhere.

There are some apps that will show you dog parks or dog-friendly parks in your area.

I just use Google though, but the app is helpful for new places.

I don't know, but your post reminded me of how I think the GPS in the car should have a button for "find nearest toilet." I can't tell you how many road trips would have been made better by such a button...

I just have always done a google search, and asked around at places like pet food supply stores and people I meet in other parks, etc.

Can you please post pictures of your Wheaten!?? I'd love to see her

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm going to get in touch with the city and see if they have any information. It's a start!

And here's a photo of the Lola! Just over a year old, and her first haircut if finally growing in. Almost time for another summer cut.
