CAUTION INDOORS:
1. Before you enter a store with your dog confirm that it allows pets, especially if your dog is a large breed.
2. Proceed with caution when you bring your friendly dog indoors (always on a leash).
3. Watch for other pets, especially working/service dogs and persons that are not comfortable when animals approach them.
4. Some companies in the US allow dogs indoors, it does not mean that the franchise in Canada does it. Also, there are stores in Vancouver that do not allow dogs in their stores in Victoria.
5. Clean up after your dog.
CAUTION OUTDOORS:
SHORELINE. "Many seabirds can only feed at low tide, so when your dog is on the beach, they go hungry for 12 hours. The tiny ones' survival in migration can be a matter of grams of food. Avoid low tide or avoid visits during migration times". Note by Jessica Van der Veen
