Keeping Dogs Safe in the Snow

Snow looks peaceful. Clean. Quiet.
But winter doesn’t care how loyal your dog is—it can hurt them fast if you’re not paying attention.

Here’s how to keep your dog safe when the ground freezes and the snow starts piling up.

⸻

1. Cold Hits Harder Than You Think

Dogs lose body heat quickly, especially small breeds, seniors, puppies, and short-haired dogs. Hypothermia doesn’t arrive with drama—it creeps in.

Watch for warning signs:
• Shivering or stiffness
• Lethargy, weakness
• Whining or anxiety
• Pale gums or slowed movement

What helps:
• Limit time outdoors
• Use insulated coats for vulnerable dogs
• Never leave a dog outside unattended in freezing temperatures

If it’s too cold for you to stand still, it’s too cold for them.

⸻

2. Snow and Ice Destroy Paws

Ice cuts. Salt burns. Snow packs between toes and freezes solid.

Protect those paws:
• Use dog booties when walking on salted roads
• Apply paw balm before and after walks
• Wipe paws immediately after coming inside

Avoid:
• Rock salt and chemical deicers—many cause burns or are toxic if licked

Cracked pads aren’t just painful—they invite infection.

⸻

3. Antifreeze Is Silent and Deadly

Antifreeze smells sweet. Dogs will lick it. Even a few drops can kill.

What to do:
• Clean up garage and driveway spills immediately
• Store chemicals locked and sealed
• Watch for symptoms: vomiting, staggering, excessive thirst

This is a true emergency. Minutes matter.

⸻

4. Snow Changes the Landscape

Snow hides hazards—glass, sharp ice, debris, even open water.

Winter walking rules:
• Keep dogs on leash
• Avoid frozen lakes and ponds (ice thickness lies)
• Stick to known, cleared paths

One step in the wrong place can end a season—or worse.

⸻

5. Cars Are Winter Traps

Dogs seek warmth. Parked cars offer engines, wheels, shelter.

Before driving:
• Bang on the hood
• Check wheel wells

This simple habit saves lives every winter.

⸻

6. Adjust Food and Water

Cold burns calories. Active dogs may need slightly more food.

Also:
• Ensure fresh, unfrozen water is always available
• Snow is not a safe water source—it dehydrates and chills

⸻

Final Word

Winter doesn’t announce danger. It waits quietly.

Snow days can still be fun—romps, walks, play—but safety comes first. Protect their paws. Watch the cold. Respect the season.

Because your dog trusts you completely.
Don’t let winter break that trust.

Wishing you a joyous season and a bright new year, to all of our valued clients.

🎃 Halloween Pet Safety Alert! 🎃

As we head into Halloween, it's important to be mindful of common toxins that can pose risks to our pets.

Here are a few to watch out for:

🌟 Glow sticks :

Contain a chemical called dibutyl phthalate, which has an unpleasant taste and can cause drooling, vomiting, and skin irritation if ingested or broken open.

🍫 Chocolate :

Contains theobromine, which can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, elevated heart rate, tremors, and even seizures. The darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is to pets.

🍇 Raisins :

Contain tartaric acid, which can cause acute kidney injury — even small amounts can be dangerous for dogs.

🍬 Chewing gum :

Often contains xylitol, a sugar substitute that can trigger a dangerous drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and potentially liver failure.

🎃 Pumpkins :

While plain, cooked pumpkin is safe in moderation, ingesting raw or moldy pumpkins can cause gastrointestinal upset or expose pets to tremorgenic mycotoxins, which may lead to tremors or seizures.

🕯️ Candles :

Not toxic, but if swallowed, they can cause a gastrointestinal obstruction, and hot wax can lead to burns.

🐾 Tip : Keep Halloween treats and decorations out of your pet’s reach, and contact your vet immediately if you suspect they've eaten something they shouldn’t have.

Stay safe and spooky! 👻🐶🐱
