For over four decades, our community has helped transform lives for thousands across Canada.
For 41 years, Canadians have gathered through the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides to witness something powerful — journeys unfolding from hope into independence.
Like a butterfly emerging, every Dog Guide partnership represents growth, patience, and transformation. This year, join a national movement that brings hope to life for Canadians living with disabilities.
Meet the 2026 Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides Teams!
