Dog ways

What kind of dog needs a coat? (A surprising answer)

In a world where huskies live in Spain and chihuahuas in Canada, we need to be mindful of dogs' thermal regulation. The idea that "a dog is never cold" is a myth we would love to see disappear for good. In this episode, we break down which dogs need winter gear (more dogs than you think), how to choose a coat that keeps your dog truly warm, and when boots are worth it — plus we share our favorite coats and boots we've discovered over the years. — The information in this episode is purely educational and it is not a replacement for veterinary or behaviour advice.

Small Dogs — What do we misunderstand about them?

More and more people are choosing to share their lives with small dogs. As our routines become busier and urban living more common, this shift makes perfect sense. In this episode of Dog Ways, we explore the myths and misunderstandings surrounding small dogs. Are they really more aggressive than large dogs? Do they truly need less care and are they actually more "convenient"? We also take a closer look at mobility health in small dogs — an area that is often overlooked — and discuss how to support it properly throughout their lives. — The information in this episode is purely educational and it is not a replacement for veterinary or behaviour advice.
