Piller PálmaWinter is not only a time of discomfort for us, the owners, because of slush, icy winds and of course the cold, but also for our puppies. A with your dog in winter should be treated differently!
Because while we can dress in layers and wrap ourselves in thick coats, our puppies don’t have that “luxury”.
Our latest post brings you 5 tips and advice for dog owners to help you get through the cold months !
Paw care don't miss it!
For our dogs, exercise is essential, even in winter.
Although it’s not the time of year when we usually get our pups the most exercise, they need regular walks just the same.
However, there is no hair on their feet to protect them from the cold or other environmental damage.
The most common problem encountered with paws in winter is that the salt used to salt the roads washes out the paws of dogs.
This causes a painful and difficult to heal wound.
For this reason, we recommend that avoid salted paths and wash your pet’s feet with lukewarm water after walks.
Also, use a paw cream that helps skin regeneration.
These products contain only natural ingredients and therefore do not cause skin irritation!
For outdoor puppies extra calories are important
To protect your dog from the cold, it’s worth not only buying a super, insulated dog house, a thermo thermal curtain, but also to provide a little extra calories for your doggy.
Because the natural extra layer of fat provides super insulation. Some farmers give 10% more of the tried and tested feed, while othersswitch to “fattier” feed for the winter months.
A mi tapasztalataink szerint jól bevált a Carnilove bárányos-vaddisznós tápja erre a célra, vagy a Farkaskonyha bio kókuszolaja rácsorgatva a normál tápra.
Do you have a puppy/old dog or a short/short-haired dog? Then buy him a dog suit too!
Buying dog clothes is no longer a gentleman’s game!
After more and more of us keep our puppies indoors, they don’t grow very thick winter coats.
In addition, many shearling dogs, such as poodles, do not have undercoats to keep them warm.
So a good warm dog suit is essential for him.
But the smooth-haired dachshund is also famous for doing the “I’m hiding under a blanket or I’ll freeze to death” routine in temperatures as low as 10 degrees.
Visiting relatives during the holidays - plan ahead!
Today, it is no longer uncommon for families to be scattered in different parts of the country.
However, during the holidays, most of the family tries to get together, at least for a meal or a meal together.
However, if you are the visitor, it is worth checking with the family member whether it would be a problem to take the pet with you.
Your host may have a cat who is terrified of dogs.
Or a baby who might be reluctant to take an amber cat into their tiny flat.

Don't let him, to eat the snow!
There are several reasons why we do not recommend letting your dog eat snow.
One reason is very simple. cold snow causes tonsillitis in dogs very easily.
This will of course be followed by a costly vet visit and home medication.
Another reason is that snow, however clean it may look, can contain harmful substances and bacteria, which can cause further problems.
Of course, there is much more than these things that careful owners need to pay attention to in winter, and indeed all year round.
For example. boosting immunity or choosing the right parasite protection and use.
Don’t forget to take your mandatory and recommended vaccinations, and don’t miss regular worming!
These may seem like small things, but this is how you can become a truly responsible, conscious farmer!
