🐾 Happy Pawther’s Day: Celebrating Pet Dads Across Montreal

At Walkies & Whiskers, we believe Father’s Day isn’t just for the dads of little humans—it’s also for the dog dads, cat dads, and guinea pig guardians who show up every day with love, snacks, and squeaky toys in hand.

Whether you’re the go-to leash holder, king of the kibble, or the one who says “he’s not allowed on the couch” while secretly building him a blanket fort—this day is for you.

📊 Did You Know? Pet Dads Are On the Rise

According to a 2023 survey by Rover, nearly 43% of pet parents identify as “dog dads,” and over 60% of those men consider their pets their children. In Montreal, where over 250,000 dogs are registered citywide, more pet-loving men than ever are taking on the daily responsibilities of pet parenthood—walking, feeding, vet visits, training, and yes, those late-night “is this poop normal?” Google searches.

And with nearly one in three Canadian pet owners saying they spoil their pets more than themselves (Abacus Data, 2022), it’s safe to say that the pet dad lifestyle is real—and thriving.


🐶 Why Pet Dads Deserve the Love

Pet dads are often the unsung heroes behind healthy, happy pets. They:

  • Brave -20°C snowstorms for a 6 AM bathroom break
  • Master the art of the treat-distract-nail-trim
  • Instinctively know the sound of their dog’s bark at the dog park
  • Send us the most detailed care notes (yes, we see you)

Whether you’re a “ruff and tumble” type or more of a softie who builds pillow forts for your anxious pup, your care makes all the difference.
