The sweater weather is here and so is the time to cuddle up with your furry friends in a warm blanket! ❄️☃️

Designate a cosy haven for your pet by providing a comfortable dog bed and a warm blanket. Consider an orthopaedic bed for older dogs that allows easy entry and ample support.
Add a lightweight sweater or sweatshirt to your fur baby’s wardrobe. A sweater can provide essential protection for every pet regardless of their fur’s thickness or texture. Taking walks is necessary to keep your pets active during winter. Winterwear comes in handy to keep them safe from the chill during walks.. Limit the duration of sweater wear to a few hours to prevent overheating. Monitor your dog closely for signs of discomfort and remove the sweater promptly if necessary.
Winter weather can be harsh on your dog’s paws and nose, causing them to become dry, cracked, and uncomfortable. Apply a small amount of moisturiser or petroleum jelly to your pet’s nose and paws before bed to help lock in moisture and protect them from the effects of the weather.
It is important to regularly clean and groom your pet’s coat to ensure it is properly insulated against the elements, especially if your dog spends a lot of time outdoors. A clean, well-groomed coat will help your pet stay warm in cold weather. It will also help to prevent skin irritation and matting.
Keeping your pet hydrated is crucial for their overall health, especially during the cold winter when they may be less inclined to drink enough water. Consider incorporating wet food, soups, and broths into their diet. These moist food options provide an additional source of hydration.
