Although they’re often well equipped with their beautiful fur, Quebec winters can be just as unforgiving for our four-legged friends as they are for us.
To prevent your dog from freezing his paws, damaging his paw pads from the salt on the sidewalks or shivering all over during a walk, remember to equip him with little boots and a warm coat. Felines are not spared!
