Vancouver app giving away free dog-friendly experience days for supporting local businesses

Experiences include free Aquabus tickets and gift cards for local dog-friendly stores.

Get rewarded for supporting local dog-friendly businesses on the PawSwap app.

A B.C. app is making planning days out with your pup easier than ever by giving away free pre-planned doggy days out for its members. Starting this week, PawSwap app members can redeem free 'PawSwap Experiences' within the app - combining products and services from dog-friendly local businesses into cute, pre-packaged experience days in your city. The free Vancouver-based app designed for local dog owners, has teamed up with dog-friendly businesses like Aquabus, Spoiled Paws and Sciué Italian Bakery Caffé to create a limited number of exclusive Rewards packages. The various Experience packages include special combinations of free tickets to local activities, day passes, and gift cards to spend in store and online at various dog-friendly stores, and although they are created to be enjoyed together, members can choose when and how to use them. To claim one of these Experiences, dog owners will need to exchange their PawSwap Points - but new members won't miss out as the app makes it easy to earn Points fast. Simply download the free app today, and start collecting Points immediately by visiting select dog-friendly businesses highlighted on the PawSwap map with your pup.

How to claim your free dog-friendly Experience day

PawSwap app identifies over 3000 dog-friendly locations in major cities across Canada including restaurant patios, coffee shops, breweries, parks, hikes, and more - but Points are only available at locations highlighted orange on the map.

Members can collect 50 Points by visiting any of these locations with their pup, and when they have enough, they can use them to redeem the PawSwap Experience of their choice.

A variety of packages are now available to Redeem inside the app.

Current Rewards include a Day on the Water Experience in Yaletown, Explore Golden Ears Experience, Furry & Fit Experience and Howl-iday Lights Experience - which includes 2 passes to Canyon of the Lights by Capilano Suspension Bridge, with new Rewards being added regularly.

"We are so excited to offer experiences for our Members! Finding dog-friendly activities around the city can be tough, but now dog owners can enjoy experiences around the city with just the tap of a button as we've planned it for them!" said Melanie Englmaier, Social Media & Events Coordinator at PawSwap. "These limited-time Rewards will include a wide range of experiences so that everyone can find the perfect outing for them and their pup - and we made it so that each package can be enjoyed on your own time and schedule. It's the perfect way to discover your new favourite dog-friendly business!"
