Looking for meaningful Canada Day dog activities to enjoy with your pup? Whether you're staying local or heading out into the great outdoors, July 1st is the perfect time to slow down, soak up the sunshine, and make joyful memories together.
At Crumps’ Naturals, we believe in nourishing dogs from the inside out—not just with wholesome treats, but with moments that support their emotional and physical wellbeing. Here are a few simple, dog-friendly ways to celebrate Canada Day together in a natural, healthy, and meaningful way.
1. Kick Off the Day with a Nature Walk
Start the morning with a peaceful stroll through your favourite park, trail, or waterfront path. Early hours tend to be cooler and quieter—ideal for exploration, sniff breaks, and soaking up some fresh air. Let your dog lead the way and enjoy the moment together.
Bring along a few of their favourite Crumps’ Naturals treats for on-the-go rewards—they’ll appreciate the encouragement (and the crunch!).
2. Set Up a Backyard Chill Zone
Transform your backyard or balcony into a Canada Day oasis. Set out a cozy blanket, offer plenty of shade and fresh water, and create a relaxed spot where your dog can rest, play, and be part of the celebration. Add a festive touch with a red-and-white bandana or collar—as long as it’s breathable and comfy.
And if you're planning to fire up the BBQ, your dog doesn't have to miss out! Check out our Dog-Friendly BBQ Recipes for easy, pup-approved ideas to serve alongside your grill favourites. It’s a great way to include your dog in the feast—safely and deliciously.
3. Play Canadian-Themed Games
Make playtime part of your Canada Day traditions with a few easy backyard games. Try a red-and-white fetch session or set up a fun sniff-and-seek scavenger hunt using your dog’s favourite treats. These lighthearted Canada Day dog activities are a great way to keep your pup engaged while soaking up the celebration together.
4. Cool Down with a Frozen Treat
If the temperatures climb, treat your pup to a homemade frozen snack. Use plain yogurt or water, and freeze it with dog-safe fruits like banana or blueberries. Drop in a Crumps’ single-ingredient treat before freezing for added texture and taste. It’s a simple way to help your pup stay cool while enjoying a nutritious treat.
5. Create a Calm and Cozy Evening
Not every dog loves the sounds of celebration, so help them wind down in a calm, comforting environment as the day ends. Close the windows, turn on soothing music, and set up a cozy corner where they can relax. Offering a treat designed to support emotional wellness—like our Gutsy Calm Bites—can help ease anxious energy and promote rest.
