Canada’s summer weather has a habit of catching everyone off guard — including your dog.

Canadian summers are a beautiful thing — until they’re not. One week you’re still reaching for a hoodie at 7 a.m., and the next you’re watching your dog flop dramatically onto the cool kitchen tile at 10:30 in the morning, refusing to move. Sound familiar? If your fur baby spends time outside on your patio, … Read more

Let’s be real — Canadians love to say, “Oh, our summers aren’t that hot.” But tell that to your panting bulldog on a humid July afternoon in Toronto or during the sudden 35°C (95°F) heat waves that have been hitting the Prairies and southern Ontario in recent years.
