8 Snow Day Essentials For Your Dog
The winter season is finally upon us, meaning my furry friend and I plan on spending most of our days curled up on the couch with approximately five blankets — both of us have a very low tolerance for cold weather. Unfortunately, we do have to leave the house on occasion and deal with the sleet and snow. Thankfully, we have found a few products that have made snow days a bit more bearable.

My dog and I believe the best way to spend a snow day is in bed, like the grandparents in “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.” Be warned, your canine companion may not want to get up after snuggling up in this luxurious burrow-style bed.

Price: $66.51
Earlier this year, I got into a fender bender, which mildly injured my back. For about a week, I placed a heating pad on the affected area. My dog believed, however, that I was not deserving of the heating pad and attempted to steal it at every opportunity. For this reason, I think she would be a big fan of this low-wattage heated outdoor bed.

Speaking of protecting your dog’s paws, I can only imagine how unpleasant it is walking barefoot on the snow-covered sidewalk. While some dogs are not fans of booties, they must have a barrier between their feet and the sleet.

To make walking your pup easier during the winter season, use dog-friendly ice melters. As the name implies, this pet-safe product will remove ice and sleet from sidewalks and pathways.

Sometimes when it gets too cold, I don’t have the heart to make my canine companion go outside to do her business. Instead, I will allow her to use a grass tray inside the home.
