Dog care tips for Winnipeg

Keep your dog safe through Winnipeg's legendary winters and bug-heavy summers.

Prairie winters

Winnipeg is one of the coldest cities in the world. Dogs need insulated coats and booties when wind chills drop below minus 35.

Mosquito season

Winnipeg summers bring serious mosquitoes. Ask your vet about heartworm prevention and avoid river areas at dusk.

Off-leash rules

Winnipeg has designated off-leash parks. Dogs must be leashed everywhere else, including sidewalks and neighbourhood streets.

Spring flooding

The Red and Assiniboine rivers flood most springs. Avoid riverside trails during high water and watch for debris.
