What's the best way to keep my dog warm during really cold winter walks?

[]

Answer

In very cold weather, short-haired breeds or senior dogs benefit greatly from an insulated dog coat or sweater. Protect paw pads from ice, salt, and freezing temperatures with booties or a paw balm designed for winter use. Limit time outdoors to prevent frostbite or hypothermia, especially for smaller dogs. After walks, immediately dry off your dog and check paws for any irritation or cracking. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
