Keep Your Chilly Dog Warm
Sweater
If you have a short haired dog, a sweater can help block out some of that cold Baltimore winter
breeze.  Sweaters can be super cute and stylish on your four legged friend to!!  
Out and In
During the cool Summer and Spring days, it's cool to spend lots of fun time outside with your 
doggie.  But when there's ice on the ground, the routine must change to avoid frost bite and other injuries.
Make potty time short and sweet, but more frequently.
Quickly check paws when coming back in doors.
Turn on some heat or use a heated blanket.  Much like Sandy, see picture, they will love it!
Prevent frostbit on ears, tail and paws by going Out and In, quick!
Safety
This rule goes ALL YEAR AROUND.  Do not leave your dog in the car!!  Leaving your 
dog in the car right now, with these temperatures is like leaving your dog in the refrigerator.  
Check paws for irritation from defrosting chemicals, salts, etc.  These substances can be very
toxic and deadly if consumed regularly or in large doses.
Food and Hydration
Like humans, it takes additional calories and energy for the dogs body to stay warm.  
Feed the additional calories.  
Water is essential, all day everyday.  Please check your dogs water bowl regularly to 
ensure the bowl is full and that the water is not frozen.  
Tip: Use plastic instead of metal dog bowls!
Puppy?
Puppies do not do to tell is freezing temperatures.  This can be a very tough time of year to 
potty train.  Use potty pads for now.
Let it Grow!
Don't shave or cut off your dogs fur.  This extra winter coat will help block out that wind, 
helping to keep our cute little critters warm!
Give your furry little friend the best home!
