Nutrition
A healthy diet is essential for optimal performance!
We feed and recommend Inukshuk Dog Food — a high-quality, Canadian-made kibble. It’s formulated to support dogs of all sizes and activity levels, from regularly active to highly active. We stock all five formulas and offer sample bags so you can find the right fit. Explore the different formulas and ingredients in our online shop.
Paw care
Keep those toes happy
We carry a variety of booties for year-round protection, along with our favourite salves to keep your dog’s paws happy and healthy.
Dog booties aren’t just for keeping paws warm in the winter — they also help prevent snow buildup and protect against sharp objects during the dry season.
Night safety
The darkness shouldn't hold you back!
Some days, daytime adventures just aren't an option — so we head out after dark. To keep your outings safe and enjoyable, we carry long-lasting, high-visibility lights for both two- and four-legged explorers.
Belts
The human needs to be comfortable too!
We carry a wide variety of belts in different brands, styles, and sizes. The best choice for you can depend on your activity, body type, and your dog’s strength. We're happy to help you narrow down the options — and we invite you to stop by and try them on.

Harnesses
One size does not fit all
The right harness depends on the activity, your dog’s size and strength, their speed, your preferences, and your budget. Take a look through the descriptions — or feel free to reach out if you need help choosing.
Lines
Customized and unique to your needs
Is your setup not quite working the way you need it to? Towing kids too? Need a custom length for your lines or necklines? Let us know — we're happy to create a custom line that works for you.
