Jan 07, 2025Staying Warm, Safe, and Healthy This Winter
Winter can be tough on dogs, but with a little preparation, your pup can thrive. Here’s how to keep your dog cozy and healthy this season:
-
Protect Their Paws:
-
Ice, snow, and salt can irritate paw pads. Use dog boots or apply paw balm before walks.
-
After outings, wash your dog’s paws to remove any harmful chemicals.
-
-
Stay Hydrated:
-
Winter air can be drying. Ensure fresh water is always available, and consider a pet-safe humidifier to prevent dry skin.
-
-
Provide Warm Gear:
-
Short-haired breeds or senior dogs may benefit from a coat or sweater.
-
Make sure bedding is cozy and away from drafts.
-
Quick Tip: Make your own paw balm by melting coconut oil, beeswax, and shea butter for an all-natural protector.
