It's good to have options when it comes to pet stores to compare pricing. This is one of a few…read morestores in Terrebonne. (One other is in the mall Galleries Terrebonne, the other is on Rue De Perigueux) . Back to Mondou, they have a good thorough selection of what you need for dogs and cats and a few other smaller animals (small birds, hamsters, mice, rats ferrets etc). But mostly it's for cats and dogs. Collars, animal toys, pet food and bones plus much more. Mondou tends to have pretty good coverage in the province of Quebec with stores all over the place. I came by to her a new dog leash. The selection was pretty vast. All different colours and kinds. In the end I decided to go with a basic black one. What drives me nuts about this location however is the parking. It looks like it was an after thought with few spots and not very easy to get in and out of. However it's a minor inconvenience. Overall the big US chains such as Petco trump Mondou in terms of selection this location has the basics and then some. They also have a loyalty program. Just make sure you don't forget your loyalty card at home (like I did)! Woof, meow or chirp you should be good to go.

This is our local Pet shop not too far from home. We take our buddy Oscar here for trimming his…read morenails (because of ease plus it doesn't cost much) and also for a buzz cut each month once spring arrives to fall. After each visit Oscar is always sporting a new different coloured bandana to wear like a 90's kid proudly sportin his new Air Jordan's! They have a wide array of supplies for cats and dogs. For more in depth spa services (haircuts) they prefer you make an appointment in advance. Service is always professional and courteous. Our buddy comes out happy and so are we after a visit to Polux!

We were gifted a dog sledding experience at Kinadapt and due to weather we didn't get to to do when…read morewe originally got the gift. Though this year, we were back in Canada and the weather was cooperating so we decided to finally do it. Overall it was definitely a cool (literally) experience and we got to do something together as a family. L O C A T I O N It takes between 1.5-2 hours to get to Rawdon from Montreal. It feels like a pretty easy route. You follow signs and please make sure you have a car that can go on dirt/snow roads. The road ends and you basically park where it ends. E X P E R I E N C E You start at the main building that looks like a house. You wait on the porch and you're given an orientation about the dogs, how to approach a dog, and how to be on the sledding experience. They are all lovely jolly people who are bilingual which is great cause my French is no good at the moment. After the orientation, you're separated into groups. One to go sledding and the other to tour and learn more about the dogs. It was very informative in terms of what breeds they have. There are some dogs who are related. Some that are retired from sledding who were super sweet. I love old sweet dogs. They also show which dogs are marked to stay away from as they're more timid. Then we were told to go to the other building which is a walk away. It's where you get hot cocoa and a baked good at the end. It's also nice and warm away from the elements. After a bit of time there waiting for our turn, we were ready to get into our sleds. You get to sit in the sled, a small blanket covers your legs (if you're lucky) and a tarp flap covers you (if you're lucky). Since I was with my niece, they were very good about bundling us up. My hubby and my in-laws said they didn't really tuck them in well so they were more cold than we were. There was 4 sleds in our ride. We were on the third with Alexi who actually does race dogs. He was a hoot. Answered a lot of our questions, introduced us to all the dogs and was wonderful. He was also the one who kept us company at the Sugar Shack at the end with our hot cocoa and banana muffins. Our ride was 30 minutes long which was plenty to experience how they maneuver the dogs and the terrain was rough but it was fun with ups and downs like a roller coaster. There are two outhouses that are relatively warm inside but the most interesting experience using them as they use wood flakes to absorb. They have instructions on how to use it which was great. Just the seat cover kept falling down which isn't great. T I P S: + Layer Up I layered a bunch of clothing as I knew we were about to go to cold. I wore 2 baselayers, a tank top, a long sleeve, balaclava, wool hat, snowboarding gloves, super thick hiking socks, furry snow boots, down parka, snowboarding pants, leggings, and sunglasses. I was still cold in my feet and hands. + Hand Warmers We didn't get a chance to grab them on our way up but it would've made our hands much warmer. My fingers were super numb. + Mittens I would say go for mittens instead of gloves. But if you don't have it have snow gloves not any ol' gloves cause you do need to insulate well. + External Camera I couldn't take any videos as we were going pretty fast and my fingers would've been numb. So if you want to document your ride, something external that you can easily maneuver as you can't really grab things in your pockets as you're going fairly fast. S E R V I C E Everyone seemed to love their job and their dogs. They all were very cheery considering it was 9 degrees Fahrenheit though that day it felt like -13. The dogs also were outside which felt kind of wrong but maybe they're warm enough and are used to it? I saw one that was shivering and was a bit concerned. Though they were all running around and excited so it seemed like it was okay. O V E R A L L The experience was great. It was nice to do it with family. Being outside 90% of the time was a little rough but make sure to dress accordingly and it should be fine. They do send an email in regards to what to bring which is helpful. Maybe next time we'll do the mushing.

This is by far the best vet clinic! I have been going There for over 25yrs. Marie-Elaine and Dr…read more Ringuette are highly competent vets who are honest and compassionate. Highly recommand!

We took our Oscar (5 month old black lab) here to get fixed (snip snip) so he would not produce any…read morebabies. We dropped off our Oscar in the morning and he had his operation and they mentioned to us to come back in the evening so they could observe and make sure our guy was okay. Since I had never been to this Vet my wife asked me to come with her to pick up our little guy in case he was out of hand. First entering this place you really see that it's very clean, new and spacious. On the left side there is a store with pet food and other items. On the right is a desk with some administrative people managing people walking in the door. We arrived in the evening and waited and were briefed by one of the Vet staff of all the things we should be cautious of and make sure that we follow after the surgery. The woman did a very good job explaining the fact that we couldn't walk him for 5 days and that we should try to keep him as calm as possible. Just a heads up not sure if they speak English here but all was explained in French. They made sure they took the time to make us feel like we were taken care of and I really appreciated their professional approach. All instructions were explained slowly, calmly and with care. I know there is another vet in the area but I will come back and use the services here as it was excellent! A visit to a vet is not cheap (Just under $300 for us for this visit) but we were happy with their approach. Thank you!

They have amazing stock and are filled with excellent guidance. I highly recommend them!read more
