The best way to be safe and healthy this winter is to be
prepared! I’ve compiled 5 of the most important items to have ready this year.
1.
Jackets – It is very important to have jackets
ready in case of an extreme cold front. Even though your dog may love the snow
and/or the cold, that doesn’t mean your dog will be warm being stranded in the
cold when your car breaks down. It is always a great thing to have in the house
and in the car.
2.
Extra Food – Extra food is vital to have this
winter. Nothing is worse than being snowed in with a huge storm coming, except
being snowed in waiting for a storm and being almost out of food.
3.
Pad Balm – Thanks to the salt on the road mixed with
the dry air, our pet’s paw pads are at risk. The pads on our pets are tough
enough to support our pets throughout their lifetime, but like our hands and
feet, during the winter a little balm goes a long way. There are many different
brands of pad and paw balm, buyers choice!
4.
Reflective Leashes/Collars – Not only is
nighttime coming quicker in the day, but it is harder to see with all the snow
and other weather conditions. Reflective leashes and collars are a great tool
this winter because not only does it help vehicles see you, but the
streetlights can illuminate you for other walkers with possibly not so friendly
dogs.
5.
Oatmeal and Skin Care Shampoos and Conditioners –
Whether you bathe your pet or you go to a groomer for bathing, it is a good
idea to buy or request a skin care shampoo and conditioner. A staple of skin
care shampoos and conditioners are oatmeal products. Oatmeal is great for the
skin and many skin care shampoos and conditioners contain oatmeal on some
level, but like furry kisses, the more the better!
