No need to skimp on winter walks when you can get your dog pet boots!  The boots will prevent your dog’s paws from getting frostbit.  Dog’s paws are most susceptible to frostbite because of the constant contact with the snow.  You may notice if your dog’s paws become frostbitten if their pads change form its normal color to pale or gray.  Their paws will be cold and hard to the touch.  If you suspect frostbite, take your dog quickly to a warm location and soak the affected area in lukewarm water for about 20 minutes.  Always contact your veterinarian for further instructions.

Not only do pet boots keep your dog’s feet warm, but it also protects their paws from the harsh salts.  The salts used to melt ice and snow can get stuck in dog’s pads and cause irritation.

There are many varieties of pet boots available.  My dog’s favorite boots are Extreme All-Weather Dog Boots, pictured at right.  These boots are durable and waterproof, perfect for keeping my dog’s paws warm and dry.  There is also a suede-leather sole that helps with traction.  The Velcro strap ensures the boot will not fall off.  This boot comes in many sizes, from XXXS to XL – perfect for any size dog!

With these boots your pet can look forward to many walks this winter, giving you and your pet the exercise you need!

There are so many styles to choose from.  The number 1 selling coat at GregRobert Pet Supplies  is the Shearling Faux Suede Dog Coat pictured to the right.  Available in sizes  X-Small to XXX-Large and in a variety of colors fom the pretty pink to the neutral camel, it is a fashion statement ready to be made.  In addition,  the coat is fully lined with sherpa fleece and has a large sherpa collar to keep your pet extra warm.  Any winter walk will be a warm walk in this coat.

Cold weather has finally arrived in Michigan and it’s time to start thinking about how to keep your pet safe during the cold months.  This is especially important for dogs or cats that spend prolonged periods outdoors.

• Don’t leave your dog or pet outside for long periods of time. Consider purchasing a pet door.  There are newer models of pet doors that allow your pet to get in and out .. but they safely disallow other critters or small people in and out.
• Keep your dog or pet warm, dry, and away from drafts. Dog sweaters are not just for style and may be just the right thing for your pet.
• Be extra careful when your dog or pet is near frozen water.  Use a leash so your pet won’t dart onto thin ice.
• Groom your dog or pet regularly to keep him/her properly insulated.
• Feed your dog extra calories if he is a working dog.
• Towel or blow-dry a wet dog or pet.  Don’t let your pet go out into freezing weather when wet.
• Don’t leave your dog or pet alone in a car.  A few minutes can turn into a half hour when something unexpected arises.
• Antifreeze is poisonous to dogs or pets although they like the smell.
• Chocolate and alcohol (abundant during winter holidays) should be kept away from pets.
• Rock salt to melt ice may irritate dog or pets footpads. Either a pair of boots or Pet safe salt should be used.
• Provide plenty of fresh water for your dog or pet.  Hydration is just as important in cold weather.
• Be careful of fireplaces which can burn your dog or pet.

A few precautions can save you and your pet from a disaster.  If you live in a northern state, now is the time to prepare for the winter monthes.
