Equip your dog with proper winter gear. Wear your dog a cozy jacket and protective booties to shield their paws from cold surfaces.
Attire
Make sure hydration during walks. Winter air can be dry, so carry water to keep your dog well-hydrated, preventing discomfort.
Hydration
Pay attention to their paws. Check for ice, salt, or chemicals. Wipe their paws after walks and consider paw balm for added protection.
Paw Care
Enhance visibility in low light. Use reflective gear on your dog's collar and leash, ensuring safety during darker winter walks.
Visibility
Opt for shorter walks in extreme cold. Adjust the duration based on your dog's breed, size, and tolerance to chilly temperatures.
Shorter Walks
Allow time for a warm-up. Start with indoor play or gentle stretching before heading out to ease your dog into the colder outdoor environment.
Warm-Up
Create a cozy post-walk space. Provide warm bedding and a designated area for your dog to relax after winter walks.
