Get Equipped for Winter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Just like humans, some dogs will need a coat and boots to fully enjoy winter. For example, puppies, short-haired dogs and senior ones are more sensitive to cold temperatures. In addition to keeping them warm, this equipment can limit the formation of snowballs in their fur and protect their paws from toxic ice melt products that are spread in the streets. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Gradually introduce these accessories, with delicious Oven-Baked Tradition treats<\/a>. Your canine companion may be inhibited at first, but it will be grateful to find some comfort while playing outside later. With that being said, even dogs who are sensitive to cold still need to spend their energy outside, in order to maintain good health. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Welcome Dogs!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Do you need to run some errands? What if I told you there\u2019s a way you can do it with your canine friend? Pet shops, dog cafes, some restaurants and some stores allow dogs. In the province of Quebec, we can think of Quartier DIX30 which has more than 110 dog-friendly stores or certain hardware stores like Canadian Tire. However, always make sure with the manager beforehand, as the regulations may be different from one store to another, even if they are under the same banner. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

During your outing, take the opportunity to stop by a retailer and stock up on Oven-Baked Tradition food<\/a>, available with or without grains. Most of these stores welcome dogs, making the experience even more enjoyable and convenient. Find your retailer today<\/a> and make sure your companion never runs out of their favorite meals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

This type of activity will allow your dog to do its physical exercise in the warmth, to have several visual, olfactory, and auditory stimulation as well as to socialize with humans or its peers. You can also take the opportunity to improve its education with a few training sessions. Also, if you want, there are several accessories to let people know that your dog needs space or not to disturb it while it is training. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Activities at Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

When the weather calls for freezing rain or extreme cold, it\u2019s not just chilly dogs who should stay warm. Sometimes, it\u2019s wiser to remain indoors and find other ways to have fun. For example, you could serve your canine companion\u2019s meals in interactive puzzle-style toys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

That said, we recommend always keeping natural chew items on hand, along with our delicious treats<\/a> for training sessions or scent-based treasure hunts. Plan a few play periods with your dog\u2019s favorite toys, or invite their best canine friend over to stretch their legs at home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Once your canine companion is nicely tired out, end the day wrapped in cozy blankets while watching your favorite shows together. Who says chilly dogs can\u2019t enjoy the joys of winter?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Winter with a cold-sensitive dog requires a bit of care, but it can become a season full of bonding and discoveries. Between well-prepared outings, dog-friendly places, and indoor activities, there are countless ways to share enjoyable moments with your companion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

With quality nutrition and a few daily adjustments, your dog can enjoy winter at their own pace, whether during a city walk or a cozy day at home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Prepare for winter with your dog by choosing Oven-Baked Tradition food. Find your retailer today<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
