Take Care in the Cold Weather!

Even though it is rarely truly cold in Texas being prepared for inclement whether is still important. Though many dogs (such as "Scruffy" - image on the right) are naturally prepared for the colder months others need a little help. If you own or walk short haired dogs make sure to have coats or sweaters on hand as hypothermia is a real risk, especially when the temperature is below freezing.
If you feel it is demeaning to put clothes on a dog keep in mind that there are many reasonable coats that act much like a blanket and stay secure with a strap around the dog's stomach (see the image on the left) - staying warm does not mean making your dog uncomfortable.
