With winter here, it is important to focus on your pets.
Those with pets that love wearing jerseys and other cool doggie gear must remember to keep their fur underneath well brushed.
If their coats are brushed regularly and kept trimmed, your furry friends will not only be warm but also free of matting and tangles.
Don’t forget to take them to Jolly Dog Spa in Hurlyvale for a pawdicure or nail clipping, as they spend more time indoors during winter and don’t get a chance to shorten their own claws by running on rougher terrain outdoors.
It is important that you have your dog’s nails and dew claws trimmed regularly.
This not only makes them feel better but also prevents the claws from being caught on clothing, carpets and plants.
For those with with wooden floors it also makes them more comfortable, as they don’t slip on the floor; and walking and running is a little quieter too.
Another aspect to consider is your pet’s skin in winter. They can suffer from dry skin like humans.
A perfect solution is to rub coconut oil on their exposed skin and they also love some on their food.
This not only nourishes their skin but also helps keep their coats shiny, healthy and glossy.
