With the holidays in full swing, how are you and your dogs coping with the busyness of the season?

The weather may be getting frightful but don’t worry, we’ve got more tips to help you keep your dog’s warm and cozy this season!

1. Limit Exposure: Limit your dog's time outdoors, especially during extreme cold snaps. Shorten walks and playtime to prevent overexposure to the cold.

2. Watch for Signs: Keep an eye out for signs of hypothermia such as shivering, lethargy, or slowing down. If you notice any unusual behavior, bring them indoors and warm them up gently with blankets.

3. Groom with Care: Trim the fur between your dog's paw pads to prevent ice balls from forming. Also, be mindful of bathing; too many baths can strip their skin of essential oils, making them more susceptible to the cold.

By following these tips, your dogs can stay cozy and safe all winter! 🐾

New puppies are popular gifts during the holiday season, and here are some tips that you can follow when considering a new puppy! 🎁

Cost of Caring: Owning a dog goes beyond initial expenses. Remember that dog food, vet bills, and toys can all add up over time.

Space: Ensure that there's enough room for a growing dog. Think about both present space and future needs. Consider things such as yard access, and potential changes in residency.

Time Commitment: Puppies require time and energy with regular walks, playtimes, and feeding - these activities can take up a bit of time each day.

Be sure to keep these tips in mind for a paw-tastic holiday season! 🐶🎄

Winter weather may be here for some of us, but don’t worry, we've got some tips to keep your dog happy and healthy as the temps drop! ❄️

1. Wrap Up Warm: As the cold weather rolls in keep in mind that dogs get cold too! Wrap up your dog in a comfy sweater or jacket for those frosty outings.

2. Paw Protection: Protect those precious paws from icy sidewalks and salt with dog booties. If booties aren't their style, give their paws a warm wipe-down after walks to keep them feeling cozy.

3. Cozy Retreat: Create a snug indoor space for them. Thick, insulated bedding and a draft-free area will ensure your dog has a warm and safe spot to curl up during winter.

We hope these tips help keep your dog happy this winter and be sure to share photos of your dog’s fun winter adventures! 🐾❄️
