Keeping our pets safe during the winter is critical for their overall health and wellness. There’s a great deal that can be done before and during the seasonal lows, and we’ve got hot tips for cold paws.

Use It or Lose It

Winter pet safety hinges on providing a pet with all the right gear to guard against the elements. To ensure that daily activities persist outside, invest in insulating clothing that keeps their core warm. If they’ll accommodate you, have them wear waterproof booties to protect the skin on their paw pads. If not, be sure to wash their feet in warm water at home afterwards to remove any ice balls in between their toes or build up of salt for deicing chemicals.

When it comes to truly elevating a pet’s health and wellness, the lion’s share easily goes to preventive practices. We brush their teeth regularly, exercise them daily, and feed them a balanced diet all in an effort to keep them healthy and happy for as long as possible. Flea and tick prevention works the same way. We not only guard against the irritation parasites inevitably bring, but defend our pets from the terrible illnesses spread by fleas and ticks, too.
