Winter Dog Walks in Canada: 6 Essentials to Keep Your Dog Warm and Safe

Canadian winters are hard on paws. Snow packs between toes, road salt burns and the sun sets before 5 p.m. Here are six simple things that make winter walks safer and more comfortable.

  1. A warm coat (from $41.99 CAD): short-haired and small dogs lose heat fast. A thick fleece coat keeps their core warm.
  2. Waterproof boots (from $46.99 CAD): protect paws from ice, snow and road salt. Reflective strips help at night.
  3. An LED collar (from $39.99 CAD): most winter walks happen in the dark. A glowing collar keeps your dog visible to drivers.
  4. A no-pull harness (from $39.99 CAD): icy sidewalks are no place to be pulled off your feet.
  5. A travel bowl (from $39.99 CAD): dogs still get thirsty in winter. Offer fresh water instead of snow.
  6. A cozy sweater (from $37.99 CAD): for small dogs on short walks and chilly days at home.

Quick tips

  • Wipe paws after every walk to remove salt.
  • Keep walks shorter when it is below -15°C.
  • Watch for lifted paws, shivering or slowing down: time to go home.
