The clocks are set back and winter is approaching! As temperatures drop, it’s important to help dogs adjust comfortably to the impending colder weather. Here are four tips from All Kreatures:
🐾 Layer Up if Needed:
For short-haired or smaller breeds, consider a cozy coat or sweater to keep them warm on walks, especially during early morning or evening outings.
🐾 Protect Their Paws:
Use dog-safe balm to keep their paws moisturized and protected from ice, salt, or rough terrain. Booties are also a great option if they’ll tolerate them!
🐾 Adjust Outdoor Time Gradually:
Ease your dog into the cold by starting with shorter trips outside, gradually increasing time as they adapt to the lower temperatures.
🐾 Create a Warm Indoor Space:
Ensure your dog has a cozy spot inside, away from drafts. Adding blankets or a thicker bed can make it even more comfortable for them during chilly days.
