Moving into a new rental can be stressful for humans—never mind the four‑legged family members who have zero say in the matter. Sloane, a purpose‑built rental community steps from Yorkdale Mall, has been designed from lobby to rooftop with pets (and their people) in mind. Below is a quick tour of the on‑site perks, nearby green spaces, and trusted groomers, that make Sloane a stand‑out option for anyone hunting a truly pet‑friendly lease in Toronto.
Why Sloane Is a Tail‑Wagging Home Base
“Beauty for the Beast” In‑House Pet Spa
The Beauty for the Beast Pet Spa features elevated wash stations (goodbye, sore back), professional‑grade dryers, and a complimentary treat bar to keep anxious pups calm. Residents can reserve a time slot through the building app—no more wrestling with a muddy dog in a condo bathtub.
Green Time, Not Screen Time — Off‑Leash Parks Within a 5‑Minute Drive
Earl Bales Dog Park (4169 Bathurst St.)
A fully fenced hillside run with shady gazebos, fresh‑water taps, and plenty of parking. Winter bonus: the adjacent ski hill turns into an off‑leash toboggan run for snow‑loving pups.
Cedarvale Park Off‑Leash Area (443 Arlington Ave.)
Mulched footing keeps paws mud‑free, while surrounding woodland trails offer a scenic cooldown loop after fetch. An adjacent splash pad keeps the rest of the family cool in July.
