#Leash Your Pets
Most pet parents don’t realize the incredible risk cold weather poses to their fur babies.
#Keep Pets Comfortable
Pets who are advanced in age or have medical issues should only be walked for short periods of time. Cold weather tends to aggravate or worsen joint issues. Prevent your dog from enduring extreme discomfort by limiting outdoor time to 15 or 20 minutes.
#Avoid Bathing Your Pet
Due to the dry and cool winter air, your pup’s skin needs oils more than any other time of year. Lack of these essential oils will cause your dog to have dry, flaky skin. If your must clean your dog, limit air drying after baths.
#Know Your Pet’s Limits
You know your pet better than anyone. Be mindful of your breed, comfort level, and tolerance of certain environments.
# Beware of Chemicals
Snow and salt can erode your pet’s paws. Not to mention, antifreeze and other chemicals applied during the winter months are harmful to your dog’s health.
