Winter Dog Care and Gear

Unless you live in some sunny, warm southern clime, harsh winter weather is hard on both humans and dogs. You may have to change up your winter dog care routine to keep them warm and protect them from the effects of freezing temperatures, harsh winds, ice, snow, and dry air.

However, with some care and preparation, winter doesn’t have to be bleak. You can easily offer your dog the protection they need to enjoy outdoor time, and keep them warm and occupied indoors.

Winter Dog Care: Paws

Snow, ice, and road salt wreak havoc on a dog’s paws. The cold surface can dry out paw pads, causing them to flake and crack. Road salt, which is sharp and often combined with harsh chemicals, is a real canine hazard. Not only is it an irritant, but it’s also potentially toxic if ingested. The goal of balms or boots is to protect your dog’s paws from conditions like frostbite, as well as healing any damage that does occur.

Mushers Secret Paw Wax

This cream is made of all-natural wax; the name kind of says it all. When applied to your dog’s pads and between toes, it creates a semi-permeable barrier against ice and snow. Buyers praised Musher’s Secret for its effectiveness against snow, ice, and salt, as well as blistering pavement and hot surfaces in summer. Mushers Secret is Available on Amazon

Certified Paw Rescue

Organic ingredients in this balm soothe cracked, sore pads and help heal cuts and wounds. Made of food-grade ingredients and completely safe if ingested, this product is a perennial hit with owners whose dogs suffer from rough or cracked paw pads. Certified Paw Rescue is available on Amazon

XSY&G Waterproof Dog Boots

Prevent weather damage altogether by putting your dog in booties. Well-constructed boots protect dogs’ paws and keep them warm in freezing temperatures. The weatherproof reflective boots have a rubber sole for good traction. Plus, they don’t impede movement. 

XSY&G Waterproof Boots available on Amazon - Available in 4 colors - Black, Leopard, Orange and Pink

Kind Melt Pet Friendly Ice Melter

Substitute a safe, non-toxic ice melt for harsh road salts to clear your walk and steps. This biodegradable product has a time-release formula that melts ice and keeps surfaces ice-free for up to three days. It’s also proven effective at extremely low temperatures. Kind Melt Ice Melter is available on Amazon

Winter Dog Care: Nose, Coat, and Skin

Just as humans feel the effects of dry air and cold temperatures with chapped lips and flaky, dried-out skin, so do our dogs. Dogs’ noses can become chapped, cracked, and flaky. Regardless of coat type, your dog’s skin can become itchy and dry in winter. This can lead to infection or hot spots. To keep your dog’s skin and coat healthy, shampoo a little less frequently and brush your dog often. Also, consider adding some of these products to your winter dog care routine.

Warren London Hydrating Butter for Dogs

This non-oily conditioner hydrates your dog’s skin and coat, helps fight itchy skin, and detangles fur. It’s useful for all breeds and any type of coat. Customers say that it absorbs easily, moisturizes itchy skin, and leaves coats smooth and soft. Warren London Hydrating Butter is available on Amazon

Natural Dog Company Snout Smoother

This all-natural balm is made with olive oil, beeswax, rosemary extract, and other organic ingredients. It is safe for all dogs, including puppies and those with sensitive skin. Because of the natural ingredients, even if your dog licks the moisturizer, the product will be absorbed; noses will also stay soft and healthy.  Vegan and Organic Skin Soother for All Dog Breeds and Sizes This Snout Smoother is Available on Amazon

Outdoor Winter Dog Gear

Besides thick-coated northern breeds meant for winter weather, many dogs feel the effects of cold like we do. If you’re bundling up for an especially cold outdoor excursion, so should your dog. Some dogs will be fine with a warm sweater; others may need more insulation.

Bingnet Dog Turtleneck Sweater 

This acrylic sweater is designed to cover your dog’s neck, shoulders, and body. It’s stretchy, soft, and generously cut to fit even deep-chested breeds.

This cute sweater is available on Amazon - available for all size dogs. You can chose between a pawprint, dog bone or deer design.

Fuamey Waterproof Reflective Dog Coat

Don’t let cold weather stop you and your dog from outdoor adventures or training. This waterproof, windproof jacket keeps dogs warm, while reflectors add a safety feature. Whether your dog is working or playing, the jacket will keep them warm without restricting movement. This cute Jacket is available on Amazon in 8 colors.

Keep Your Dog Warm Indoors

If you keep the thermostat set low in winter, your dog may need something to take the chill off. Humans have down quilts and snuggly throws. Why not give your dog a little bit of extra warmth, too?

Round Donut Bed

The aptly named Anti Anxiety Donut Bed has a raised rim and is well-padded, so even arthritic and senior dogs can get comfortable. The plush synthetic fur is ultra-warm while still being breathable. This Donut Bed is available on Amazon - available for all size dogs.

Self Warming Crate Pad

This versatile pad can be used without a crate, too, as a floor mat or, as one customer noted, on top of the printer where her dog loves to nap. It captures dogs’ body heat and radiates back warmth, so it’s self-warming without cords or batteries. The notched corners fit snugly in a crate and the bottom is a non-slip fabric. Self Warming Crate Pad is available on Amazon - available for all size crates.

Winter Dog Care Cheat Sheet

Protect your dog’s paws from outdoor surfaces. Wipe them off (even between toes) when you go back inside.

Consider your dog’s breed and coat type, and whether they may need a sweater or jacket.

Brush your dog’s coat frequently to get rid of dead skin. Condition as necessary.

If your dog’s nose becomes dry or chapped, use a healing balm or cream.

Make sure your dog has a warm place to sleep inside, especially if you keep the house cool.

Provide mental and physical stimulation and play while indoors.

what dog would icemav get?

im guessing no mangy devil chihuahuas or rescues (compacflt can't be seen with anything but a purebreed) golden retriever might be too on the nose, how about a malinois or a german shepherd maybe an english bulldog (ugly)

idk. i don’t really have a dog in this fight (i don’t care) (pun intended). but it definitely would have to be like a Real Dog. yeah nothing smaller than 70 lbs. a Real Dog. other than that i don’t have any opinions. could be a mutt or a rescue! but it would have to be, you know, handsome and upstanding and like, a Real Dog that you can, like, do stuff with. it is very cliche and on the nose and maybe im only saying this bc i, like, don’t care at all about dogs but ice does seem like the white lab/golden retriever guy and mav strikes me as a german shepherd guy. there are many reasons i don’t think they would ever have a dog (what would they do with the dog?) but not being able to agree on the breed might be one reason they never get a dog. arguing and bickering etc
