Most locations in Canada get pretty cold during the winter months, and many spots in Canada stay pretty cool in the spring and autumn months as well.  If you live at elevation, you may even have cool evenings and nights during summer.  One thing which can make life in Canada more comfortable and pleasant for your dog is a dog coat, sweater or jacket.  These are great for taking your dog on walks when it’s chilly outside and the wind is blowing.  Waterproof dog coats or snowsuits can also provide additional warmth and comfort when it is raining or snowing outside.  But how do you actually get your dog to wear a coat?  Here are our recommended steps.

1.    Firstly, make sure you actually get dog clothes that fit your pet.  A dog coat size chart can help you out here.  Measure the circumference of your dog’s chest and neck as well as the length starting at his neck to the base of his tail and you will be able to choose the proper size from the sizing chart.  If the dog coat isn’t comfortable, your dog isn’t going to want to wear it....

We’re right in the middle of spring, and as you know, spring days can be some of the wettest of the year.  That doesn’t stop your dog from needing to get out of the house and go on a walk though, and every dog owner knows there are few things more annoying than taking your dog out in the rain only to have him come back inside with you and shake it all out all over the floor, walls and furniture.  Dog rain gear includes raincoats for dogs and boots to keep paws dry.  We have a number of adorable accessories that both you and your pooch will love.  

Our rain suits for dogs are both fashionable and comfortable, and some of our rain jackets even come with handy carrying cases.  That way if you’re not sure if it’s going to be raining outside, you can go out prepared.  Then the moment it starts to rain, you can get your dog suited up and save yourself from that hassle of a wet dog when you get home.  Both you and your dog will enjoy your walk more if your dog can stay dry and comfortable.  Some of our dog rain jackets include hoods so that your dog’s head can stay dry too.  Hoods are detachable on some designs in case your dog is more comfortable without one.  Sizes range from XS to XXL, so whether you have a tiny Chihuahua or a larger dog like a German Shepard, you will be able to keep your dog from soaking on those wet spring days...READ ON

Now that we’re officially in spring and summer is coming up in just a few months, it’s starting to warm up.  That means that it will soon be pleasant enough in the evenings and at nighttime to enjoy walks with your dog after the sun goes down.  Especially during the hottest months, this can be more pleasant for both you and your dog than taking walks at midday.  Spring can be the best time for these evening strolls since the sun stays up longer during the summer, but during the winter it is too cold to go out at night comfortably.

One of the best ways to keep your dog safe when you’re on a walk together is to buy glow in the dark dog accessories, collars, leashes, and clothes.  A glow-in-the-dark dog tank or tee is perfect for summer evenings;... READ ON
