Hello!

• When temperatures drop and snow starts to coat
  the ground outside, its important to adjust your
  pets daily routine so you can keep him happy,
  safe and comfortable until the buds of spring
  begin to bloom. Caring for your pet in the winter
  is a multi-pronged effort that will require some
  thought and preparation. Here are seven things
  you can do to make this your pets best winter
  ever.

1. Take Care of Your Dogs Paws

• A dogs legs, tail and ears are most susceptible
  to frostbite, says Dr. Rebecca Ruch-Gallie,
  service chief for the Colorado State University
  Veterinary Teaching Hospitals community
  practice. While theres not much you can do for
  the tail and earsbesides keeping your walks
  short or walking during daylight hoursdog boots
  will provide some Pet Accessories for dog welcome
  warmth to your dogs paws. Dog booties can also
  protect your dog from harmful chemicals like
  deicers. While some ice melts are clearly marked
  as safe for pets, many others are not. If your
  dog licks his paws after walking on deicer, he
  may be at risk of getting sick. For dogs who
  refuse to wear booties, you can use a towel to
  wipe their paws after a walk, Dr. Ruch-Gallie
  says. If you notice your dog stepped in salt,
  rinse the area as soon as possible.

A dogs diet is precisely calibrated to give him
all the vitamins, minerals, and calories he needs
to thrive. But when a dogs activity level
changes drastically, as it can in the winter,
adjustments need to be made to ensure adequate
nutrition. Dr. Ruch-Gallie says this can happen
in both directions. My dog loves the snow. Here
is some pet clothes. Shell go out five or six
times a day when it snows to play. On those days,
she may need more calories because of the
increase in exercise, she says. Other dogs
dont like to go out at alleven for potty
breaks. Because theyre less active, they should
consume fewer calories. If youre unsure whats
best for your dog and his activity level, consult
with your vet to come up with a plan.

• 2. Adjust Daily Calories for Changes in Activity

6
When it comes to how you feed your dog, there are
fun, creative things you can try that will both
satisfy his hunger and give him a bit of a
workout, says Dr. Deborah Linder, research
assistant professor at Cummings School of
Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. For
dogs that are food-motivated, you can encourage
activity by spreading meals throughout different
parts of the house or throwing kibble to have
your pet chase it down a hallway, she says.
Mentally stimulating dogs can also be a great
way to get them moving with Interactive Pet Food
Dispenser Toy and interactive or puzzle toys.

• 3. Play with Your Pets Food

Dogs, and especially cats, may seek out sources
of heat in your house as nice places to cuddle up
or take a quick nap. Dr. But Ruch-Gallie warns
that these spots present burn risks for pets,
because they arent aware of how hot they can
get. Cats may try to curl up next to a radiator
or jump up on a wood-burning stove, she says.
Owners should make these places inaccessible to
their pets during winter months.

• 4. Block Off Heat Sources

Moisturizer is your best friend during the
winter, but your pet doesnt have the same
luxury. Baths tend to dry out their skin the same
way it does yours. While its not the most
serious of problems, dry skin can cause an animal
some discomfort. Dr. Ruch-Gallie says its not
advisable to cut out baths altogether from
December to Marchnot only for the obvious
(smelly) reasons, but also because some animals
have allergies and require regular baths. That
said, you may want to cut back on the frequency
of baths, and speak with your vet to find a dog
shampoo thats more moisturizing than the average
one, Dr. Ruch-Gallie suggests.

• 5. No Off-Leash Time

9
While your dog might love running around outdoors
off leash, it can be especially risky when the
temperatures drop. Dr. Elizabeth Rozanski,
associate professor of emergency and critical
care at the Cummings School of Veterinary
Medicine at Tufts University, says falls through
ice may occur if a body of water isnt fully
frozen. Additionally, dogs are at an increased
risk of being hit by vehicles, including snow
plows.

• 6. Increase Intervals Between Baths

If you live in a part of the country thats prone
to the occasional blizzard, its critical to have
a checklist handy. This will help ensure you have
everything your pet may need, in case youre
stranded for a few days. Dr. Ruch-Gallie says the
same list you might have for yourself will apply
well to your petdog blankets for warmth,
battery-operated flashlights in case you lose
power, clean water, plenty of dog food, dog
medications and something to stay entertained.
She adds that you may want to keep all these
things in one place. If youre thinking about
leaving before the snow, make sure you have all
these things together, in case you need to get
out quickly, she says.
