It's a no-brainer that you should keep yourself and your children warm over the winter, right? After all, we don't have nice fur coats like our canine friends. However warm their fur coats are, dogs aren't completely self-sufficient in the winter, especially certain breeds. Here to discuss ways to keep your dog toasty warm this winter is Robinwood Kennel, premier family owned dog boarding facility of Highland Heights, KY:

  • Consider A Dog Sweater: They aren't just there to look cute (though many are); dog sweaters help keep dogs warm, especially breeds like chihuahuas, which are small, have short coats, and have a proclivity to shiver in cold climates. Older dogs have trouble staying warm, too.
  • Invest In Dog Booties: Again, these adorable accoutrements have a necessary function. Your dog may be covered in fur everywhere else, but the pads of his paws are still hairless. Not only will booties keep him warm, but booties will protect your dog's toes and the soles of his feet from jagged ice, toxic ice melting products, salt, and other dangerous particles.

  • Do Some Dog House Renovations: Some dogs enjoy hanging out in the dog house when it's cold, but make sure his little hovel is well insulated, especially if he sleeps there at night. Keep plenty of blankets and pillows inside, and make sure to change them when they get wet. You might also consider installing a tarp over the entryway to keep out icy wind. Why not leave him a hot water bottle, too?
  • Choose Caring Dog Kennel Services: Are you going south for the winter? Leave your dog with the area's most trusted pet daycare and boarding facility! Robinwood Kennel's warm and spacious cages will keep him very comfortable at night, and their loving staff will make sure he gets all the food and exercise he needs to stay healthy this winter.
