Winter Warmth for Fur Babies
How to Keep Dogs Safe During Cold Weather Walks
Make winter a wonderland for dogs by ensuring they’re safe when temperatures drop.
While dogs have fur coats, they can still get too cold in the snow, frigid temperatures, and severe storms. Particularly at risk are dogs that are short-legged, older, or sick, say the dog-walking experts at Wag!
This winter, take precautionary measures to keep dogs healthy and happy, no matter what the weather brings. The best way to do this is to reduce the amount of time your dog is out in the cold. Take shorter walks, and remember that short-legged dogs can get colder faster. Doggie sweaters and coats also help. Dog booties can help prevent the irritation on their paws caused by salt, chemicals, and sand .
