How do you keep your pet warm in the cold?

The weather in winter can change at any moment. It can be bright and calm in the morning and cloudy and windy by noon. Knowing the weather forecast and limiting your pet’s time outdoors is the best way to keep them safe from the weather.

If your pet has short hair, a jumper will help. Young and older pets may have trouble regulating body temperature, so they may also benefit from wearing special clothing.

It is also worth remembering to insulate your paws. Pets don’t have a lot of hair on their paws and if they are exposed to snow or ice for long enough, it can lead to frostbite. In addition, cold and dry weather can dry out the skin on their paws, leaving them chapped and vulnerable to infection.
