Tips for your dog's well-being this winter
Here are some tips for your dog's well-being this winter:
- During periods of extreme cold with wind chill, it is preferable to limit the time of the daily walk.
- It is strongly recommended to opt for a coat for the most delicate dogs. Animo etc offers you a wide choice of warm and waterproof coats, available in stores or on the online store.
- If your dog is resistant to the cold and goes outside regularly during the day, it is better to increase its food ration. Indeed, its energy needs will be much greater during the winter.
- You can wash your dog in the winter, even in cold weather. However, it is important to use a quality shampoo that will nourish the skin and help replace the sebum lost during cleaning. This natural fat helps protect against the cold.
- Obviously, after cleaning, make sure to dry your dog completely, with a dryer, before exposing it to the cold.
- Remember to protect your dog's paw pads from snow and salt to avoid irritation. You can opt for dog booties, or use a moisturizing balm designed specifically to protect the pads. Both of these products are available in one of our Animo etc. stores.
- Supervise your companion closely while he plays outside, to ensure that he does not ingest large quantities of snow. Ingesting too much snow can cause digestive problems and severe gastritis. If necessary, choose a specialized feed to control and prevent digestive problems.
