Winter protection

My thread seems to have taken a left turn.


What do the rest of you do to keep your dog safe in the winter?

What about those who live in an outside kennel.?... dogs that is.

Sorry Sharon!! :-)

Definitely watch the temps for training ... Fortunately we do not have to worry about road salt here with the dogs paws. Biggest change for the winter months is adding straw to the dog boxes for winter travel.

Wow. Unbelievable. I tied my dog outside Timmy's once . It was about 6 degrees. Someone came in hollering , "Who owns that dog?! He's freezing out there!"

We had a little discussion. I told her I was buying him his Tim bits - lie. :shy: That shut her up.

Please watch the advertising - failing to do that will result in removal from the discussion.

update:

Well, the setters decided they weren't going to the woods/fields with that annoying JRT in a coat.

Monday , Lady grabbed the coat , ripping the Velcro loose on the JRT , and took off with the coat. I have looked twice now and no sign of it. Maybe a coyote took it home to his wife.

$40.00 down the drain. :)

Kids can be so cruel. :)

I have no issues with Maxi - he loves snow and cold in general. Just this past Sunday, at minus 5 he felt he needed to cool down in the creek...
