Protect your pet from the cold

Cold weather means you need to use good judgement for your pet outside

Baby it’s cold outside. Some of our dogs could care less. In fact, I see the same dogs lounging in their front yards on my commute home each day in the dead of winter as in the summer. With that said, many of our furry friends are very sensitive to the cold. A small percentage of these dogs embrace the thought of wearing boots when outside in the winter. Others may benefit from a product called Mushers Secret. Mushers Secret is a wax product that bonds to the pads and skin between pads on the feet. It’s safe if dogs lick it and can be used in the summer as well if your dog spends time on the beach or any area with rough conditions.
