Stay warm!!

With the temperatures dropping, we wanted to share a few tips to keep your dogs safe:

❄️ Limit time outside during extreme cold. This includes bathroom breaks. Shorten walk times and your dog's exposure to the cold.
❄️ On those frigid days, keep them safe by exercising them indoors. Check out our blog for cold-weather enrichment ideas https://ow.ly/tsL150QpEVA
❄️ Protect their paws by putting booties on them, using paw balm, and using dog-friendly ice melt.
❄️ Minimize the risk of frostbite and keep them warm by ensuring they've got appropriate winter gear like a coat.
❄️ Ensure they stay warm and comfortable at home by providing adequate bedding and ensuring it's in a warm spot.
❄️ Recognize problems such as the signs of hypothermia (shivering, pale gums, lethargy, difficulty walking, confusion).

Frostbite can be challenging to see while it's happening, so watch for other signs of discomfort from your dog to indicate they need to go inside. Dogs can't tell us when they are uncomfortable, so we must keep outdoor sessions short and take steps to protect our dogs from the elements.

Winter is an excellent time to take advantage of some of our fun topic-based classes for great indoor options to keep your dogs busy this winter! We have social hour this weekend and a fun recall workshop starting tomorrow night! Book through your Gingr account and check out a calendar at https://bit.ly/3SgM2LK
