🎂 Turning 5 this October

Beau the Samoyed — adventure dog and mountain explorer. BOLD.
WILD.
BEAU.

A Samoyed with a mountain-sized personality. Beau is our fluffy, full-throttle adventure buddy — happiest with snow on his nose, a trail underfoot, and a camera close by.

Extrovert

Never met a stranger

Born in Cranbrook, British Columbia and now living his best life in Alberta, Beau is a bold, energetic extrovert who wants to meet everyone. He’ll sniff every blade of grass, work for tripe, and happily pose for Dog Dad and Grandpa — especially if snow, mud, or a mountain view is involved.

Beau's Favourites

Big Country Raw
Food

Big Country Raw

A Canadian raw brand with a long, trusted history and locally sourced meats.

Beau can be a picky eater, especially on warm summer mornings. After he got bored of kibble and wet toppers, we tried Big Country Raw. Their XL boxes are perfect for a big dog like Beau and easy to portion.

Open Farm Ancient Grains
Food

Open Farm Ancient Grains

Traceable ingredients, recyclable kibble bags, and a Canadian company we feel good supporting.

We feed the Ancient Grain kibble and Ancient Grain RawMix. Our vet pointed us toward grains early on for Beau — studies show grain-inclusive diets can be important for large-breed dogs, and it's been a great fit for him.

PetValu
Retailer

PetValu

This is where we grab both Beau's kibble and raw food.

PetValu runs a buy-12-get-1-free program on raw and kibble, offers 10% off in-store pickup, and sends email coupons for 10–25% off store-wide. It's our go-to for keeping his pantry stocked affordably.

Canmore & Bow Valley Wander

Canmore, AB

Mountain-town streets, easy riverside paths, and lots of dog-friendly patios in one stop.

Dog-Welcoming Coffee Patios

Alberta, various

Beau loves greeting people, so patio coffee stops are a highlight of his week.

Beau's tip: Ask for a water bowl and pick a spot along the railing so he can settle without blocking traffic.
