Any owner knows that every dog needs walks, even if it’s winter outside.

To ensure that your walk goes smoothly and without incidents, it is important to take into account some nuances.

Winter jacket

During frosts and cold weather, a dog, like a person, needs a warm jacket. This is especially important if the pet has short hair.

Special boots

To prevent your dog's paws from freezing and suffering from salt sprinkles, it is important to buy your pet special shoes. Thanks to them, the paws will be dry.

Observation

During the walk, it is important to watch your pet. If it starts to shiver, it is better to return home immediately to prevent hypothermia.
