We all noticed that cold days are ahead and do you know what that means? Yes, Christmas is near (we all love some Christmas spirit), but till then we have to make sure our pets will have everything they need for cold days.
EXERCISE
- WALK YOUR DOG AT MIDDAY!
As we all know mornings and evenings are freezing, so the best time to take your dog for a walk is midday. You both will enjoy the walk much better if it’s a bit warmer.
- BEWARE OF ROAD AND SIDEWALK TREATMENTS!
The roads are covered in salt crystals to melt ice and prevent pedestrians from injury. But these are toxic for dogs and cats. The best way to prevent damage is to use a set of doggy boots or at least wipe off your dog’s paws with a warm towel when you get home.
Before you buy doggy boots, make sure you choose the right size for your dogs!

- PAWS NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.
If you like to take dogs on long walks you should consider doggy boots as mentioned before and beeswax-based paw balm, which will insulate the dog’s paws.

- CLOTHES ON DOGS? DEFINITELY!
Everything depends on the breed. So if you have small short coated dogs or medium-to-large dogs with short coats, it’s recommended to take your dog shopping for some comfy, warm clothes. Your dog will be very grateful!
But of course, if your dog is a medium-to-large, healthy dog with a lush coat, that’s not necessary – but still, they will look cute with a coat.
CLEANING
After a walk, we all know how messy dogs can get. If you are not able to clean your dog at home inside, it’s recommended to use waterless shampoos and sprays.
