Dogs are just like people. There cold tolerance can vary by breed , coat, and body fat source. With the extreme cold weather being predicted for this upcoming weekend, be sure your dog doesn't stay out too long. A sweater , coat or boots can help especially with the smaller breeds. Their pads are also very sensitive and I recommend using only pet safe salt in your yard and sidewalks where your dog goes out to. Regular salt is harsh and if your dog licks their paws they will be digest the salt residue left on their paws. Wipe your dogs feet coming in to remove any salt chemicals and ice that may be on their paws. Bundle up and stop by the Barkery for any of our winter dog needs.
