It’s Raining, It’s Snowing! Winter is here.
No matter what the weather, the best way to ensure comfort and safety for your pet is to keep them where you are comfortable and safe – in your home. Consider offering your pet unlimited access to your house during weather extremes like the icy, cold days of winter.
Again, the ideal place for your pets in cold weather is indoors where they have shelter from cold temperatures, drifting snow, and ice. Outdoor dogs require shelter with insulation, fresh food, and water that doesn’t freeze. Consider an electric bowl heater to keep water from freezing outdoors.
If you take your dog outside in snow or icy weather, be sure to check it’s paws for cuts and ice balls. After walking on pavement treated with salt or chemical snow removers, wipe your dog’s paws with a damp cloth.
