Cold Weather

It is the season to be watching your pups. Those of you that have outside dogs. Really need to think about bringing them in when the tempter drop. Watch those water bowl. And increase their food, because to keep warm takes fat and if they are eating the same as in good weather they will lose weight. If they seems to licking their feet alot, check them they may have ice between them.
Those good people that are walking their dogs, be sure to watch their feet. With salt on the sidewalks, it is hard on their pads. I have recently heard of putting bag balm on their pads to help. And for those short coated dogs get them a sweater to wear. On the medium size dogs, sometime a toddler sweater with a little of ajustment can fit.
Have a great New Year.
