Cold weather doesn’t have to slow your pup down. With a little prep, winter can be just as fun (and safe) as any other season.
🐾 Paw & Skin Protection: Winter walks can be tough on paws and skin
- Apply paw balm before heading out, or use dog booties for extra protection
- Wipe paws after every walk to remove salt, ice, and chemicals
- Keep noses and paw pads moisturized to prevent cracking and dryness
❄️ Keep Them Warm: When temperatures drop, layering up is key
- Add an extra layer for walks—our Classic Cushioned Harness offers comfort and cozy coverage. Smaller, short-haired, or senior dogs may need extra warmth!
🚶 Walk Safety: Adjust your routine to match winter conditions
- Opt for shorter, more frequent walks instead of one long outing
- Plan your longest walk around midday when temperatures are warmest
- Use reflective or LED gear to stay visible during dark mornings and evenings
🏠 Home Comfort: A cozy home setup makes all the difference
- Keep your dog entertained indoors with Plush Toys
- Place their bed away from cold windows, doors, and drafts
💧 Hydration Matters More Than You Think: Winter air can be surprisingly dehydrating
- Always provide fresh water—indoors and on the go with a Travel Bowl
- Tip: Adding a little warm water can encourage your dog to drink more
🍽️ Winter Nutrition: Energy needs change with the season
- Active, outdoor dogs may need slightly more calories in cold weather
- Indoor or low-activity dogs may need fewer calories to avoid winter weight gain
- Always consult your vet before making dietary adjustments
