Your dog is an important part of your family, and you realize that it is your responsibility to ensure her safety. This means not only caring for him on a daily basis, but also keeping an eye on the weather conditions in your area so you can determine the best route of care for your little fur ball.

If the weather is getting cold, consider how this will impact your dog as well as your plans with him for the day. He may need some protection when outside to keep him warm, like a dog house. He also may need to come inside more often than usual to warm up. Walks and play sessions that take place outdoors may need to be shortened or lessened in intensity. Also keep in mind his sensitive paw pads on icy sidewalks, and offer booties if needed. Your local Richardson TX vet clinic can help you care for your pet. Schedule an appointment today.
