Want to build a backyard pond? Advice on getting started from this West Kootenay pet supply company

A backyard pond or water garden is a beautiful addition to any outdoor landscape. Come and talk to the experts at Kootenay Critters & Pet Supplies. We have a wealth of knowledge and advice to help you plan and build your perfect backyard pond.

After deciding on a budget for your pond project, the first step you should take is to decide how large you want your pond to be. Will your pond have fish in it or will it just be a garden feature? If you want fish, then the depth of your pond is important—ideally the depth should be about 76 centimetres (30 inches) or deeper. Anything less and your pond is vulnerable to water evaporation in summer and freezing in winter. You’ll also want to consider things such as decorative features, waterfalls and fountains, and the types of plants you’d like to use.

Our daycare hours are generally from 8:30 a.m to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, unless there’s a holiday. Dogs will need to have a flea and lice treatment in place before drop-off.

We also offer adventure hikes for your pooch pals. Hikes run on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and are full-day adventures. This fun day for your dog includes exploring local trails and playing in a fenced, secure enclosure full of balls, climbing toys and tunnels.
