Not all dogs are immune to the cold, especially for young puppies or older dogs. One of the best ways to protect your pet from the cold is to invest in clothing.

2. A coat and a clean house
Dog clothes that cover the belly and paws help keep them clean, avoid snowballing on the paws, enjoy a walk without having to wash them every time and control the smell. Especially if you have a puppy, very small or with short limbs, or with the belly closer to the ground, like dachshund dogs.

Once you have the right gear, it's time to think about how to keep your pet warm when outside.
It would be a shame to neglect your traditional outings because you fear that your canine companion will fall ill or no longer have fun practicing his favorite activity. Avoiding winter outings too often could create bad behavior in your dog simply out of boredom. If possible, try to limit the time spent outdoors in very cold weather, but increase the frequency.
