REMEM-BRRRR:
Dogs are vulnerable in frigid weather!
  • Short-coated and dogs low to the ground freeze faster
  • Ears, toes, and tail tips can get frostbite
  • Ice-melting chemicals are very hard on dog paws
  • Shivering is an early sign of hypothermia

So, what should you do?

  • Buy a coat for your dog to keep his body core warmer
  • If ears, paws, and tail are cold to the touch, re-warm them gradually
  • Protect dog pads with boots or rub baby oil into them. Keeping nails trimmed and foot hairs short helps reduce ice clumps between toes
  • Bring "outside" dogs indoors if the temps or wind chills are sub-zero
