Let’s see those snow day photos!! ❄️

❄️🐾 Snow days are fun, but they can be tricky for dog owners. Here are four easy tips to keep your pup happy and safe!

1. Protect Their Paws 🐾
Snow and ice can hurt dog paws.

Before the walk: Rub paw balm or vaseline on their pads to protect them from salt and ice.

After the walk: Dip paws in warm water by the door and dry them well to wash off salt and melt snowballs. (Def too cold right now!)

2. Shovel a Potty Path 🚽

If your dog has trouble going in the snow, you can shovel a small, clear path or a little square of grass where they can easily go. You can also lay a tarp down before the snow starts and lift it when it's time for them to potty. Be sure to share the snow off periodically so it doesn't get too heavy.

3. Play Inside 🏠
Your dog needs exercise, even when it’s snowy. Burn off energy indoors!

Brain games: Hide treats in puzzle toys or inside a muffin tin under some tennis balls. This makes them think and gets them tired. You can also roll treats or kibble up in a towel so they have to search and work to find it.

4. Keep Dry & Clean
Be ready: Keep absorbent towels right by the door. We love: https://amzn.to/4jYT1EZ

The Whisk Trick: Use a regular metal kitchen whisk to easily and gently "whisk" out packed snowballs (ice balls) that get stuck in the fur between their toes or on their legs. It works better than your fingers!

Quick dry: Wrap your dog up in a big towel as soon as they come in to soak up the water fast.
