Frequently Asked Questions

Winter safety starts with protecting your dog from freezing temperatures, icy surfaces and harsh weather. Consider winter coats, protective boots and paw balm for outdoor walks. Keep walks shorter during extreme cold, wipe paws after exposure to road salt and provide a warm, dry place to rest indoors.

Pet-safe ice melt products are formulated to reduce certain risks associated with traditional de-icers, but no ice melt should be considered completely harmless. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, prevent pets from ingesting the product and wipe their paws after walking on treated surfaces. Products such as Paw Thaw can be part of your winter pet safety routine.

Dog boots and paw balm can help protect sensitive paw pads from winter conditions. After each walk, gently clean and dry your dog's paws to remove salt, ice and debris. Check regularly for redness, cracking or irritation, especially during colder months.

There is no single temperature that's too cold for every dog. Small dogs, short-haired breeds, puppies and senior dogs may be more sensitive to cold weather. Wind chill, moisture and time outdoors also matter. Watch for shivering, lifting paws, slowing down or reluctance to walk, and head indoors if your dog appears uncomfortable.

Some dogs benefit from winter coats and boots, particularly smaller breeds, short-haired dogs and pets sensitive to cold temperatures. A properly fitted winter coat can provide extra warmth, while dog boots can help protect paws from ice, snow and de-icing products. Choose accessories based on your dog's size, coat and activity level.

Provide warm bedding away from drafts, maintain access to fresh water and encourage regular indoor activity. Interactive toys, enrichment games and comfortable resting spaces can help keep pets active and content when outdoor time is limited.
