Protect Your Pets From Winter's Woes
Dogs seem to be quite well insulated even on their feet, they're walking around barefoot in the snow," Dr. Nield said. He said to keep your pets warm in the winter, the good 'ole fashioned doghouse is the way to go. And when it comes to outdoor hounds, the vet said they may scarf down more than usual to get enough body heat to stay toasty. But for Jack, he's just wagging his tail and loving life, no matter what the weather may be. "He's pretty spoiled as you can see." The best prescription for keeping your pal happy and healthy- just snuggle up and give 'em lots of love. The vet says it is a good idea for thin-coated breeds to layer up if they're going to be outside. Again, Dr. Nield said it's very important for your pets to be out of the wind, off the ground and always dry.
