As temperatures drop, our pets rely on us for warmth and comfort. From cozy bedding to protective gear, small changes can make a big difference in their well-being this winter.
1. Dress for the Season
Short-haired breeds and small pets lose heat quickly. A Reflective Waterproof Raincoat or Thermal Jacket can help maintain body temperature while staying visible in darker weather.
2. Keep Bedding Warm
Choose thick, insulated beds or enclosed nests like the Winter Kennel or Elk Triangle Bed. Elevate them off cold floors and away from drafts.
3. Moisturize Paws
Cold, dry air can cause cracked paws. Apply a pet-safe balm regularly, and always wipe paws after outdoor walks to remove salt and debris.
4. Maintain Regular Grooming
Keep fur brushed and clean to maintain insulation. Avoid shaving your pet too short during winter.
5. Stay Active Indoors
Use interactive toys like tumbling lasers or puzzle feeders to keep your pet mentally and physically engaged even on cold days.
6. Hydrate More Than You Think
Heated homes can dehydrate pets faster. Ensure constant access to fresh, room-temperature water.
7. Monitor for Signs of Cold Stress
Shivering, lethargy, or dry skin are warning signs. If your pet shows discomfort, add layers or shorten outdoor time.
Winter can be cozy with the right care. Joy Parke’s warm nests, reflective coats, and enrichment toys help you make every season safe — and joyful — for your furry family.
