Winter Tips for Small Dogs

In the winter keeping small dogs warm can be a challenge. Here’s a few tips to make it easier:

  1. Keep your small dog in shoes when outside to protect their paws from salt and ice
  2. Close up any drafts in your house but especially where your pet sleeps
  3. Use blankets with fleece or down filling to will provide extra-warmth (on bed/couch/etc.)
  4. Fleece sweaters or jackets are also key to keeping body temperatures up
  5. Don’t over bathe or over shave your pet it can lead to dry irritated skin

My small dogs wore fleece pajamas that kept them warm all winter.  Amazon has quite a selection to choose from across all price points.

Stay warm.
