We’re having another snowy winter here in Sheridan, here are some tips to help keep your pups comfortable in this cold weather!☃️
Limiting time outside is super important when it comes to cold weather. All breeds of dogs are vulnerable to freezing temperatures, including thicker coated dogs. Dogs left out too long, are at risk for hypothermia and frost bite, especially on their ears, nose and tail. Take short walks, and if possible, carry small and elderly dogs out to use the bathroom, to limit exposure.
Dressing your dog up might seem silly, but can be very important for small/short haired dogs. Ensure they fit well and cover most of their body. Booties can also be helpful, to keep their little toes warm on walks (if your pup allows it).
Winter hazards are also very important to keep an eye out for. Antifreeze has a sweet smell that can be tempting for pets. Be sure to keep it out of reach and clean up spills as soon as they happen. Salt is often used to prevent ice on sidewalks, but can be a pain for our pets. Be sure to wipe paws with a warm wet rag as soon as you get home from walks.
