The rivière aux Chiens is a tributary of rivière des Mille Îles, flowing on the north shore of the St Lawrence River, in the administrative region of Laurentides, in the southwest of the province of Quebec, in Canada.

The "Rivière aux Chiens" has its source near the "Blainville Street East" in Mirabel.

The place name "Rivière aux Chiens" reflects the importance that rural families agreed to dogs as pets.

On dairy farms, the dog had great help especially for security, movement of herds, hunting and hitch for pulling sleds.

The place name "rivière aux Chiens" was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.
