Just as we take care of ourselves, or our skin and hair during the winter, our canine friends also need proper care. Take a look at the 7 tips for caring for dogs in winter. Show her that her comfort and safety are important to you.

1. Groom carefully – Preserve the insulating layer. Don’t shave your dog down to the skin in winter. His shaggy coat acts as an insulator against the cold and keeps him warm. Protect your skin from getting too dry and free from fleas.

2. Watch out for ice and snow – Ice and snow can make you lose the smell. So never let your dog wander through the snow so he doesn’t lose his way back.

3. Paw care – After returning from a walk with your pet, clean their paws. They have the possibility of getting infected due to chemicals like antifreeze. The rock salt used to melt the ice can scratch their paws.

4. Antifreeze is dangerous – Antifreeze can cause poisoning and irreparable kidney damage. Sometimes it is fatal. Keep an eye out for spills, or better yet, use animal-friendly brands.

5. Check the dog house – Keep your pet indoors if the temperature drops too low; if not, make sure your dog’s house is safe and warm at night. Make it draft proof and waterproof too. Provide blankets and a bed, especially with tile floors that can get very cold.

6. Water is essential – Continue to give your pets water during the winter months to prevent dehydration. Snow does not mean that water is not needed. They are like us in this way! They need water to burn calories.

7. Games at home – Small game device to keep you busy indoors when the weather doesn’t allow you to go for long walks. It’s safe and will keep you from escaping outdoors into a cold world with lots of infections to catch.
