With frigid temperatures to be found throughout much of the country, we all need to bundle up. Extra layers are important and keeping your dog warm on your daily walks is important for him as well. Some dogs are meant for the cold outdoors, breeds like the Husky or Akita love it. Other breeds don’t mind due to their double coat or long hair like some Retrievers or Labs. But if your pooch has short hair or a single coat, make sure you put a jacket or sweater on when going out for a long walk. Also, be careful of their paws and pads, watching for things like frost bite or the salt put down to melt the ice. That salt can get between the pads and cause painful burning on that tender skin. There are boots available for your pet if you think that the extreme temperatures or man made products are a danger. Keep your pup as warm as you like to be!
