As the winter months begin to creep closer, we have to remember that it’s not only our lifestyle that’s in for a change but also that of our doggies’.

Following these 5 Tips for Taking Care of the Pooch During the Winter Months will help keep your dog safe and healthy.

Every pet is different, so it’s important to understand their threshold when it comes to the cold.

Setup an adequate environment

If they are inside make sure that the temperature is comfortable and setup their normal sleeping area with plenty of extra blankets.

Dress them up
