Happy 150th Canada!

Watch our adorable and inspiring video of these 150 proud canadian dogs for canada 150

Though Canada’s beauty, landscapes, and people have been around much longer than 150 years, this year does mark the 150th anniversary of Canada becoming the country that it is today.

We had so many of you send us adorable pictures of your pups plus we gathered some from recent events (thanks Dog Lovers Days, Woofstock and Canadian Pet Expo and all the beautiful people and dogs we met). Some of you sent us stunning pictures of your dogs in red and white or in front of quintessential Canadian scenery.

But above all every picture we used depicted a proud Canadian dog happy in the country we call home! So raise your flags, clear your throats and get ready to sing along, loud and proud like our star Boston Louie (RIP)!

The Lyrics to ‘ O Canada’

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Canada Day Celebrations

This year is sure to be a big bash across the entire country. Many businesses and public councils have been building up to this for the entire year.

Kilo actually won a donut at Tim Hortons while posing for a Roll Up The Rim shot with the new Canada 150 Cup.

With all the excitement and celebrations you can easily run into issues if, like so many others, your dog isn’t as keen to celebrate with things like fireworks especially.

3 Celebration Safety Tips

Huge national holidays like July 1st in Canada and July 4th in the US can be frightening or even dangerous for pets. A lot of dogs don’t like the sound of fireworks and get very frightened by them going off. After big holidays shelters often get very busy as so many dogs and cats escape through open doors or run away.

To keep your pet safe, happy and calm here are some things you can try:

1) Keep them inside in a safe secure place (possibly even in their crate or a dark room if they are really afraid).

2) Keep them distracted during the celebrations. A chew or stuffed Kong can work well. Some people find music or TV can cover the loud noises.

3) Make sure they are microchipped and have tags, just in case the worst happens and they do get lost.

Some people find that thunder shirts or natural scents like lavender and other soothing pet products help with calming too.

We recommend plenty of early walks and activity during the day to help tire your dog out mentally and physically for the evening as well.

Congrats to @Ranger.thegsd our contest winner in the random draw! What a beautiful dog and photo!

    Happy Canada Day! Wow, that’s a great anniversary — and the pictures are glorious. Sure is a beautiful country, and I look forward to getting back to visit again someday. When I lived in Indiana, we made the trip several times. *s*

    I hope that your Canada Day was happy and safe! Kilo is so cute all dressed up as a Mountie. 🙂 Since I live just across the river from Canada, it is nice that we always get to celebrate our Independence Day in combination with Canada Day. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of “neighbors”.
