When the winter comes, it is time to think of a whole new set of ways to make the season comfortable for you and your dog. Your dog's warmth, feet, and even a seat cover for the interior of your car are all things to consider during the winter months. Obviously, areas where there is snow can be a complete game-changer, however, areas with heavy rainfall also need a bit of precaution as well.
If you spend a lot of time out with your dog in heavy weather, check your dog's ears and feet. If they are cold, that is a good inclination on how they really feel. Dogs can get frostbite. It also is a good idea to keep check the pads of your dog's feet if you are trekking your dog through the snow to make sure that there is no fur and snow buildup between the pads. If there is excess fur between the pads, snow can pack in there and actually make painful snowballs between the pads. Proper trimming of the fur and nails on your dog's feet is good during the winter months.
A viable solution to your dog's cold feet can be dog booties. There are several different brands available for your dog's feet. Walkaboots Dog Boots are a common brand that are actually made out of neoprene, are machine washable, and have rubber soles that are built to help your dog in winter weather.
