Winter Wonderland Getaway with Your Furry Friend: Winter Cottage Cozy & Canine Comfy

Winter is the perfect time to snuggle up with your four-legged bestie by a crackling fire. At Cottage Stays, we believe wagging tails should be part of every cottage memory. That’s why we offer pet-friendly winter getaways in Ontario, where you and your dog can explore, play, and relax together in a beautiful winter setting

Pet Friendly Winter Getaway: How to choose?

First of all, check the property description so you know what your surroundings will be like. Think of what kind of pet-friendly activities you’ll have at your disposal. Dog friendly cottages come in many varieties today. Some have large gardens and areas for walks, hot tubs and other amenities. Furthermore, make sure you choose a dog friendly cottage according to the needs of your dog. Consider plenty of room indoors and out, so you can both enjoy the time together, whether it is inside the cottage or outdoors

Paw-paration is Everything

Before heading off on your pet-friendly winter getaway, make sure you pack everything your pup needs to be comfortable and safe:

✔️ Food & water bowls (plus extra treats for snowy adventures!) ✔️ Winter gear – yes, even dogs get cold! Pack a jacket and booties if needed ✔️ Poo bags (because being a responsible pet parent never takes a holiday) ✔️ Favorite blanket & toys for that “home away from home” feel ✔️ ID tag with your contact info (just in case they get a little too excited on the trails!)

Pet friendly winter cottages: make your pet feel at home

Making Your Dog Feel at Home

Once you arrive, take a few walks around the area so your pup can sniff out the new surroundings. Bring familiar items like their bed or a favorite chew toy to help them settle in. And don’t forget, routine is key! Sticking to regular feeding and walking times will help your dog feel relaxed and at ease.

Additionally, don’t forget to pack lots and lots of toys. Discover the new area together with your furry friend and give your dog some playtime. A good supply of chews and treats are simply a holiday must! Remember to also take some towels and your dog’s favourite blanket with you, so your furry friends can get really cozy. After all, keep in mind that this is their holiday too!

Many dogs are creatures of habit. Changes, travelling and a new environment can be challenging and stressful for them. Keeping a routine is a great way for you to ease their accommodation to the new environment. Sticking to the same feeding and walking times can be a good option to reduce your pet’s anxiety and spend some quality time together. Winter activities, such as cross-country skiing or walks in the snow can be a great option to exercise together and keep you both healthy!
