The brutal chill of winter is on its way. Is
your pooch prepped for the upcoming weather? Your canine needs more than his
natural coat to stay cozy and warm this winter season. Make sure you stock up
on these essential winter products and services before supplies run out.
1.
Sweaters & Blankets
Even when the heat is running, you know how great it is to put on a warm cozy blanket or sweater in chilly weather. Treat your pup to a couple of cuddly warm blankets and sweaters this season.

Coats
While sweaters are great for the indoors, you’ll need something more resilient for your canine companion’s outdoor endeavors. A warm, waterproof coat is a wise investment for the winter season, keeping your canine’s coat warm and clean.

Booties
Do you like running barefoot through the snow? Neither does your dog. Although he has more built-in protection than your fragile feet, icy surfaces laden with snow-melting chemicals can wreak havoc on his sensitive pads. Licking these chemicals can also make him sick. Waterproof booties are a minor investment compared to a vet bill and will inspire your dog to do more of his duties outside, rather than on your carpet.

Nose & Paw Healing/Protective

Grooming
Even if your pooch spends most of his time indoors, winter grooming is a must. Dogs with long, overgrown, matted hair are not insulated or warm. Winter grooming is essential to your hound’s health, protecting against hot spots, pain, and infection.

Potty Pads
For smaller dogs, potty pads are a wise investment in extreme weather situations, safeguarding your micro-pooch from hypothermia in blizzards and sub-zero temperatures.
