Dog FoodThe Ritz-Carlton Toronto Dog Friendly Review
The Ritz-Carlton Toronto holds a respectable B Roch Rank for dog owners, offering a thoughtful mix of comfort and practical help that makes travelling with a dog genuinely manageable. Most of its guest rooms can accommodate dogs, and if you book a sixth floor room with the terrace, your dog is welcome to join you out there. Nearby green spaces, including Simcoe Park and David Pecaut Square, give you somewhere to walk, and the concierge team is happy to point you towards local walking routes. Cats are also welcome, so mixed households are not turned away.
In the room you will find a dog bed and water bowls provided, and if you forget supplies, the hotel can shop for dog food and add it to your room charge. The concierge team can arrange third party pet sitting and walking services, and can also recommend local grooming providers, subject to availability, as well as assist in contacting local veterinary services should the need arise. Your dog may be left unattended in the room, though housekeeping will only service it if he is crated or if you are present. The dog fee is $150, and there is no separate damage deposit, though you remain responsible for any damage your dog causes.
The main restriction to plan around is a weight limit of 30 lbs, and only two dogs are permitted per room, so larger or multiple big dogs will not be able to stay. There is no garden, no dedicated dog space and no dog wash area, and dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant or lounge, so your dog's time off leash will largely happen outside the hotel. This stay suits owners of smaller, well mannered dogs who want strong concierge support and a comfortable room base near city green spaces. Owners of larger dogs, or those wanting on-site dog facilities and shared dog friendly spaces, should look elsewhere.”
