Winter is the season of chilly winds, snow, ice, and rain and understandably, your pup may not be the biggest fan. The weather shift can make dog walks and outdoor activities a little more challenging too. In addition to getting a warm winter coat don’t forget to protect your dog paws this winter.
Trim Fur Between Pads
It’s easy for long fur to get packed with snow and ice which can make walking painful. So, be sure to trim fur between each of your dog’s toe pads. If you are unsure how, consult a groomer.
Boot Up
Consider dog booties especially if you live in an area that frequently gets snow or freezing temps. When getting dog booties, check the fit thoroughly and start with short walks. If your dog hasn’t worn booties before, make the introduction slowly, with plenty of treats.
