While I understand that there are a handful of northern dog breeds who prefer cold weather, a majority of dogs will become chilly in cooler temperatures just as humans do. As pet parents it’s important that we keep our pets warm in the winter months, especially if they are small, senior or injured. For the sake of this blog post (and my dog mom parenting style since Wynston is a Chihuahua), we’ll say that a warm dog is a cozy dog. Therefore, here’s advice on how to keep your dog warm in the winter.

Holiday Pet Safety: 12 Days of Holiday Planning for Pet Parents
I think as pet parents we can all agree that safety is always top priority for our pets. Often when I think of Christmas and the holiday season, I rarely think of the multitude of risks that come along with it. We’re so caught up in a holly jolly Christmas, that we forget about the dangers it can pose. Sounds silly, right? Well, not for our fur babies. The fireplace, Christmas lights and tinsel can put us at the vet’s office too quickly, so it’s important that we’re mindful throughout the season. I’ve compiled a holiday pet safety guide to get you and your fur friends through Thanksgiving and Christmas without any emergencies. This blog post is the first of twelve in our 12 Days of Holiday Planning for Pet Parents.
