What should I pay attention to when walking my dog in winter?

1, choose the right time to walk the dog.

In winter, the temperature is low, so you should choose the right time to walk your dog and avoid low temperature weather or windy weather. At the same time, walking the dog on a sunny day can make the dog get enough vitamin D, which is beneficial to the dog's bone health.

In addition, when walking the dog at night or in the dark, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the neighbors in advance and take safety protection measures for the dog to avoid the dog getting lost or having an accident.

2. Choose the right place to walk the dog.

In winter, roads are mostly frozen by snow and ice, which will affect the walking and running of dogs. It is recommended to choose a place with grass or dry ground to avoid walking the dog on the ice. At the same time, we should avoid the congested places, which can effectively avoid the friction and conflict between dogs and people.

3. Pay attention to wearing appropriate equipment.

For short-haired dogs, it is necessary to wear warm clothes in winter, especially when walking the dog to avoid catching a cold. In addition, putting non-slip shoes on dogs can help them walk more stably and avoid falling and being injured on the ice.

4. Pay attention to protect the dog's health when walking the dog.

In the cold winter, the dog's immunity will decline, and it is easy to get colds, respiratory infections and other diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to supplement the dog with enough water and calories, and often observe the dog's physical condition. If there is any abnormality, seek medical advice in time.

In addition, the dog's skin is also easy to dry, so it is necessary to clean and comb the dog's hair and apply a proper amount of moisturizing cream to keep the skin moist and elastic to prevent chapped skin and other symptoms.
