Paws for a Visit on National Dog Day🐾
West NB is a place where adventures come naturally, including bringing your four-legged travel companions along for the journey. From friendly local dogs who have become community favourites to welcoming accommodations and outdoor spaces made for exploring, there are plenty of ways to explore with your pup by your side or find an experience where a pup is waiting for you. Meet three famous dogs and discover where you and your furry friend can stay, play, and explore.
Buddy
Buddy, the beloved golden retriever from Buddy's Place, has become a local celebrity, welcoming visitors with his friendly personality and classic golden retriever charm.
Experience: Visit Buddy's Place includes mini golf, ice cream treats including a homemade ice cream lineup that's taking over in popularity; Mercury Ice Cream with very unique flavours like key lime, butter brickle, black licorice, lawn games, a playground, and of course, the opportunity to meet Buddy himself and sign his guestbook. Food trucks sometimes also visit, and movies under the stars and live music. Picture cutouts. It's a phenomenal place to visit for kids and families.

Coachdog
Adventure is always better with a companion, and Coachdog is ready to join you on the water. When you book a fishing experience with Marlon Prince, you may get the chance to meet his four-legged fishing buddy who brings extra excitement and personality to the experience. From peaceful days on the river to unforgettable outdoor fishing memories, Coachdog becomes part of the story that makes fishing so special.
Experience: Book a guided fishing trip and discover the joy of exploring the waterways with a local guide-and his friendly canine companion.

Starbuck
With a big heart and even bigger personality, Starbuck, the Bernese Mountain Dog, has been named a VIP patron for Fidelio Cafe and has become a familiar face around Woodstock. He can often be found exploring downtown at the cafe, for a walk alongside the river, or getting a pup cup from Dari Delite! A visit to Woodstock isn't complete without exploring the charming downtown, local shops, and welcoming businesses-and you just might be lucky enough to cross paths with this gentle giant.
Experience: Explore Woodstock's walkable downtown and keep an eye out for Starbuck during your visit.
