A dog exploring Kelowna

The dog-friendly guide to

Kelowna

An indoor dog-friendly brewery, a lakeside run and serious summer heat.

Field notes August 2026

A practical dog-friendly guide to the Kelowna hotel, brewery, patio and off-leash beach we visited with Tilly.

Kelowna was brutally hot during our July visit, so shade, water and indoor dog access mattered more than usual.

Unleashed Brewing welcomed Tilly right inside, Accent Inns supplied useful dog amenities and Lake Avenue Beach gave her another chance to play in the water with other dogs.

Indoor brewery accessTilly could join us inside Unleashed Brewing instead of remaining outside in the heat.
Thoughtful hotel kitAccent Inns supplied a bowl, bandana and poop bags for a $20 daily pet fee.
Lakeside playLake Avenue Beach let Tilly swim and run with other dogs, though its boundaries were open and only lightly marked.
