When the cold weather really kicks in, we all worry that our outdoor pets will be okay. There are a few things you can do to make sure they make it through the winter happy and healthy. A heated bowl which is controlled by a thermostat will ensure that your dog’s water never freezes.

Floors in dog houses get very cold in winter, yet many of us never think that our poor dog has to lie on that cold floor. They haven’t got slippers to keep their paws warm, so we have to help them. If you can, have your kennel raised off the ground on stilts. If you can’t do this, put an elevate bed in so they don’t have to sleep on the floor.

Some dog owners dress their dogs up in ridiculous outfits to match their own, but in the winter months even the owners who treat this practice with disdain appreciate that jackets and sweater serve a purpose.

The winter clothes that you can get nowadays will go through the wash when they need to be cleaned. They are now also in 5 sizes so there should be no problem kitting out your pet.

So the winter clothing will keep them warm, but health supplements are recommended to keep their joints oiled, so to speak. All houses suffer from drafts, and as your dog is on the ground they will be affected more by them than we would. A lighter, house sweater will protect your pet. You can also get goggles to keep snow, grit etc out of their eyes when they go for walks.

Our cats need some special care during the winter months too. As they have very little body fat they feel the cold more than dogs. A cat bed that is shaped like a cave will keep them warm and cozy in the coldest weather.

Getting back to your dog, have no noticed how they always lie is a shape akin to an apostrophe? A carpet for your pet to sleep on, or even a heated mat will be really appreciated; they’re great for cats too. If your pet lies next to your bed at night it stands to reason that they’ll lie downstairs through the day, so a heated mat will ensure their comfort.

Never leave your pets outside for a long time unless they have shelter. Dogs can get frostbite really quickly, especially on their feet, tail and ears. If you can’t bring them in make sure they have shelter that they can in out of the draft.

If you’re a cat owner, learn about the ways that a Staywell magnetic cat door or Petsafe cat door can be a great addition too.
