Let it Snow…

…but don’t keep them out too long!

A few safety tips:

• Dogs don’t always know when they’ve had too much, especially if they are having fun! Give them frequent breaks to thaw out and warm up.
• Dogs who don’t have a thick double coat may need that coat or sweater.  It’s not a fashion statement, its for the health and safety of your dog!
• Keep the hair trimmed out from between the pads. It’s a common place where snowballs form which can be painful and damaging to the foot! Frequently check to see if snowballs are forming and clean them out.
• Thoroughly dry your dog after a romp in the snow.
• Don’t let your dog eat snow! It is a common cause of vomiting and diarrhea. That snow contains all of the chemicals that it passed through on its way down, plus whatever else lands on it.

Have fun!
