❄️ Winter Essentials For Dogs
These became a necessity during Canadian winters. The salt and other products used on the sidewalks to melt snow really bothered my dogs' paws, and I could tell they were uncomfortable. These Ruffwear boots made a huge difference and gave us much mor...
Grip Trex™ Dog Boots | Durable All-Terrain Paw Protection
My dogs loved running and rolling around in the snow, but their fur would get soaked and they would get cold much faster. Having a warm, waterproof layer meant they could enjoy the snow for longer without me worrying as much about them getting wet.
Vert™ Waterproof Insulated Vest | Waterproof, Windproof & Insulated
Not every winter day calls for a heavy waterproof coat. I liked having a lighter layer for those colder days when we were going for a normal walk and didn't need full protection from snow or rain.
Climate Changer™ Fleece Vest
Winter was surprisingly hard on my dogs' paws and noses. Between the freezing wind, snow and everything used on the sidewalks, I liked having a paw balm around to help keep their pads moisturized and comfortable.

After coming back from freezing walks, my dogs always wanted somewhere warm and cozy to curl up. Having a comfortable bed waiting for them became one of those little winter comforts I wouldn't want to be without.

🧤 Winter Essentials For Owners
I knew I needed a proper winter boot in Canada, but I wasn't sure which one was actually worth the investment. I didn't want to spend money on a pair just for the sake of having one, so I took my time looking for something practical that I would actu...
Women's Venturetrot Boot
A great match for the Columbia boots! Kept my feet cozy and warm and I got different styles to match with the outfit, cause I usually went straight to work after our walks.
Womens HEATTECH Socks | Slouch Line | UNIQLO US
Everyone that lives in a cold country knows that a very good coat is worth the investment. These one is perfect! Walking my dogs were way more comfortable wearing it. (You can see that I like Columbia, right? That's because they can have a lot of goo...
Women's Apres Arson II Winter Long Down Jacket
During a snowstorm, with snow literally up to my knees, I somehow dropped my building access fob while walking the dogs. 😅 Replacing it would have cost me a pretty good amount of money, but thankfully, I found it weeks later when the snow melted. Af...
Belt Bags - Lululemon
Good gloves are not optionalon walks. I needed something warm but still practical enough to handle leashes, poopbags and my phone. Love these ones!

☀️ Summer Essentials For Dogs
One of the hardest things about summer in Spain is that dogs aren't allowed on every beach, especially during the peak summer months. That meant my dogs can't always do what they love most when it's hot — run around and cool off in the ocean. 🥲 A co...
Swamp Cooler Zip™ Cooling Dog Vest
One of my favorite little tricks for hot days is turning enrichment into something refreshing. You can fill this with food or treats and freeze it, which gives the dogs something fun to work on while they enjoy a frozen treat.
Freeze Dog Toy
My dogs love water, so having a little pool available on really hot days is such an easy way to keep them entertained and cool at the same time. It's one of those things that turns a hot afternoon into something they actually enjoy.
Dog Pool
Love this for cleaning mud or sand out of our dogs arms and paws! And is also good to refresh them on walks a little bit.

🧴 Summer Essentials For Owners
The sun in the South of Spain is something different. Now I'm much more conscious of sun exposure on longer walks. Sunscreen is one of those things I don't want to leave the house without, and this one from Supergoop is amazing, doesn't look like you...

A hands free leash is a must for summer walkings, for whenever you need to drink some water - or just dry the sweat from your eyes 😅
Hands-Free Leashes
Here in Europe is very common to have a bottle of water with you to wash off your dog's pee from sidewalks. I use if for that and also to drink and give it to my dogs!
STOJO Collapsible Water Bottle 20oz Carbon Gray
Sun protection is never enough and I love those from Lululemon cause it fits perfect and it's so lightweight!
