We've been experiencing some really bad snowstorms across the U.S. lately. Winter has barely begun and I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of freezing weather throughout this Winter. It's important for people to prepare for Winter weather, and I think most people do a pretty good job of it. However, in the rush to be prepared for the humans, sometimes Winter safety tips for dogs isn't top of mind for pet parents.

Many of our dogs love playing, walking, or hiking in the snow. Sometimes we can't even get them to come back inside! But we know better than they do, so it's important to be mindful of how long we let them stay out in the cold and watch for signs of hypothermia in dogs such as:

🐾 Excessive panting or drooling

🐾 Pale gums

🐾 Rapid heart rate

🐾 Vomiting or diarrhea

🐾 Any kind of unsteadiness or disorientation

🐾 And of course seizures or collapse, which requires immediate Veterinary attention!
