Dogs Cold Weather



When the cold weather comes you are better off keeping your dog inside. No matter if it's snowing or not your dog will be at risk. It is rather cruel to with hold proper care just because the dog is a little too big or can get into trouble while inside. Remember if you walk your dog
daily for 45 minutes a day, that will help prevent your dog from doing destructive behavior to your home. If the weather if to bad to walk you might want to invest in a tread mill. Another idea for cold weather care is coming home at least once during the day and letting them out for exercise and bathroom breaks.

We all like to turn down the temperature when we aren’t home, but consider what temperature the dog will need to be comfortable. If it is too cold inside you are doing no better by having them inside. So keep the thermostat up at a decent temperature while you are away for the day.

You will need to spend a more playtime and exercise with your dog once you get home, but it is important to see they are safe, warm, and comfortable during the day when you are at work. You can even leave them extra blankets around their bed during the night and when you are
away just in case the house isn’t warm enough. Most dogs love to cuddle when it gets cold. You will find them in front of fireplaces and heaters warming themselves.

When you do have a fire going make sure you have the doors and screens on the fireplace closed, you don’t want your dog to get too close just because of curiosity and get hurt.

Cold weather can be just as harsh on your dogs or dog as it is on you. Keep in mind that extra care needs to be taken even if you are just going for a little exercise out doors. There are many other things you can do as well such as dog sweaters, little booties, or just keeping up the pace to make sure your dog will not suffer in the cold.

You love your dog, make sure your dog is happy warm and healthy.
