Ways To Keep Dogs Warm This Winter ❄️
Stay Ahead Of Weather
Amid rain, snow, or wind chill advisory we should limit exposure to shorter walks for bathroom breaks. Dress pets accordingly and if necessary, refocus attention to inside activities to occupy our pets with home exercise or lively play like with Oo Ma Loo Toys.
Hazardous Conditions
When the sleet and ice come it is important to think of our elderly pets who might be suffering from aches and discomfort and the difficulties with arthritis. When permissible, keep your sidewalks clear of snow and ice and know the hazards of winter may not be just the conditions. Roads and sidewalks may have salt on them so make sure any outdoor pets do not consume these and always keep a watchful eye. Develop good habits to clean salty paws when re-entering the home.
Bring Them Inside Where It’s Warm
Respiratory illness is more common this season so maybe minimize socializing pets. Be on the lookout for symptoms of sickness and bring them indoors until fully recuperated. Offer thick warm blankets and gate or seal off areas of cold drafts. Indoor air might be drier so offer adequate hydration as well.
For outdoor-housed hardy dog breeds always make sure to gauge temps night and day and know when to bring them indoors. Offer extra food and bedding. Be sure to weigh your pet often. Pay attention to breed-specific issues and keep ears clean and warm.Always dry your pets hair to avoid matting and brushing their coats regularly removes dead hair. Additionally using our DERMagic Cell Restoration Cream will help with skin dryness throughout the winter. And in between bathing, our wonderfully scented Lemongrass Spearmint Grooming Spritz aids against odors.
