We Speak Dog
at the Bowen Island Dog Ranch

Come for a visit! We encourage tours with you and your pup. Tue/Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun off the 10:15 am ferry.

At the Bowen Island Dog Ranch, we are devoted to giving dogs everything they need to be happy, healthy and safe.
Here, a dog can be a dog, free to play with other dogs exploring the forest and with our enriched boarding program, have fun off-property at Bowen Island’s many beaches and trails—secure in the constant affection of our skilled dog carers. Since 2007 our standard of excellence continues with loving care and attention for every dog, every time. With full-body health checks (given to each dog upon arrival and thereafter depending on their length of stay), comfy rooms, and enough physical and mental stimulation daily, we are confident your dog will have the time of their lives with us!
At the heart of it all is our fluency in dog-human communication—we really do “speak dog”. The Bowen Island Dog Ranch is here to help you and your dog live your best life together.
