Every September the receiving room tells us the season has turned: out go the cooling vests, in come the coats, sweaters and cozy beds. The fall 2026 arrivals are stacked and on the shelves, and there’s a lot to like, including several Canadian brands. Here’s the tour, grouped by what each new arrival is actually for.
Fall coats and sweaters from Shedrow K9
The headline arrival is a full lineup from Shedrow K9, a Canadian brand better known in the equestrian world, and it shows in how these are built. The Chinook coat is the everyday pick: a clean, warm layer for crisp morning walks, in black, equestrian red and a wine colourway. The Expedition coat steps up the insulation for properly cold days (the houndstooth prints are getting compliments already), and the Vail coat is the premium warmth option for deep fall and winter. For indoor cozy and shoulder-season layering, the Brentwood cable-knit sweater comes in classic knits, including Plus sizes cut for broader chests. Short-coated breeds, small dogs, seniors and lean sighthound types feel the cold first; if your dog shivers on October mornings, this is their section.
Cozy new beds from Cumfy
New from Cumfy: the Cirrus square cushion bed is a simple, plush crash pad that suits crates and floor corners, and the Two Way bed converts between a nest and a flat mat depending on how your pet likes to sleep. As the floors get colder, a proper bed off the hardwood makes a real difference, especially for seniors and short-coated dogs. Browse all beds to compare styles.
New in the food aisle
Three notable arrivals. First, a wide new wet food range from Natural Balance, including the frankly named Fat Dogs low-calorie recipe for weight management, a limited-ingredient bison paté for sensitive dogs, and a trio of Health Protection stews made with pumpkin, right on season. Second, Purina Pro Plan’s new AdvantEDGE line has landed for both species, including Senior Support+ for dogs 7 and up and Digestive Support+ for cats. Third, for raw feeders: frozen whole sardines from Iron Will Raw, an Ontario company, make a simple omega-3-rich topper. New food in the house? Our fresh label-reading guide pairs well with all of it, and any switch should run gradually over 7–10 days.
The cat corner
Cats did well this season. Odourlock Lightweight multi-cat clumping litter is the pick of the batch: the same Canadian-made odour control in a bag that’s far easier to carry and pour. The Simon’s Bubble backpack carrier gives adventurous cats a window seat for vet runs and outings, and the Vanness non-skid stainless dish is the unglamorous upgrade every whisker-weary cat appreciates. Stainless is also the easy-clean, chin-acne-friendly choice.
Everyday restocks worth knowing about
Rounding out the arrivals: Red Barn bully sticks and a braided version for power chewers join the long-lasting-chew rotation. As with any natural chew, supervise and size up. Earth Rated single rolls at under a dollar are the easiest add-on in the store to keep every jacket pocket stocked, and there are fresh Dogit XL training pads for puppy season and senior dogs.
How to size a dog coat (one minute, two measurements)
Coat sizing runs on back length (collar base to tail base, standing square) plus chest girth at the widest point behind the front legs. Match those to the size chart rather than guessing by breed, and you want snug enough not to shift, loose enough for a full stride. Between sizes? For coats, size up. Email us the two numbers and we’ll confirm the size before you order.
