Keep your dog warm with a cozy bed and winter coat. Limit time outdoors in extreme cold. Check paws for ice and use pet-safe ice melt.
Provide plenty of fresh water as dogs can get dehydrated in winter. Avoid shaving your dog's fur short for added warmth. Consider a humidifier for indoor air.
Protect your dog's paws with booties or paw balm. Dry and clean your dog's paws after walks to prevent irritation from salt and chemicals.
Watch for signs of hypothermia like shivering, lethargy, and shallow breathing. Consult your vet if you notice any concerning symptoms in your dog.
Maintain a consistent exercise routine to keep your dog healthy and active during the winter months. Play indoor games to keep them mentally stimulated.
Groom your dog regularly to prevent matting and dry skin. Consider a balanced diet with omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin and coat.
