Winter Weather Survival Guide for Dogs: How to Protect your Dog

Winter weather can be a tough time for dogs, especially if they are exposed to extreme cold, snow, and ice. Not only do they have to deal with harsh weather conditions, but they are also more susceptible to dry skin and other health problems.

To protect your furry friend during the winter months, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

  1. Provide plenty of shelter: Make sure your dog has a warm, dry place to sleep and rest during the cold winter months.
  2. Keep your dog active: Despite the cold weather, it's important to keep your dog active and exercised. This will help them stay healthy and happy, and prevent boredom and destructive behaviour.
  3. Protect their paws: Snow, ice, and salt can be harsh on your dog's paws, so be sure to use paw balm or booties to protect them from the elements.
  4. Feed them a healthy diet: A healthy diet is important for your dog's overall health, and this is especially true during the winter months. Make sure they are getting plenty of nutrients, especially during the shorter, colder days. An all-natural and nutrient-rich supplement like Dog-Eh! Metabolism Support can be a great addition to your dog's diet.
  5. Make an all-natural, dog-safe salve: This easy recipe can help soothe your dog's dry, chapped skin and protect them from the harsh winter weather.
