Tried & Sniffed
The food, treats, toys, gear, and grooming staples that keep this Samoyed smiling, sniffing, and trail-ready. No paid placements — just stuff Beau actually uses.
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.

Beau's year-round paw protection for Alberta trails, icy sidewalks, and rainy riverbanks.
We use Canada Pooch boots across all seasons — their winter line for snow, rain boots for wet days, and summer options for hot pavement. Takes a few tries to get used to; expect hilarious walking at first.

Clean, simple, and perfect for training on the trail.
Costco sells large bags of freeze-dried jerky such as beef liver, duck, chicken, and beef. We break strips into tiny pieces for high-frequency rewards.

Non-negotiable for a double-coated Samoyed.
We pick one up from PetSmart, PetValu, or any local dog store. Five minutes a day saves hours of tumbleweeds later.

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.

Hydration boost and extra flavor for picky days.
We use all the Open Farm bone broth flavours — chicken, beef, and turkey. We freeze it into broth pupsicles in summer and pour it over kibble or raw on chilly mornings.

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.
