Frosty Paws

The weather here in Western Michigan has been hitting low temperatures. I'm sure your dogs have been complaining about their paws being cold. One thing that you can do to help them out is clipping the hair around the pads of their paws. You can use a beard/mustache trimmer or a trimmer actually meant for dogs. Just take care not to cut the skin between their toes. By trimming up this fur, they won't get clumps of snow/ice sticking to it.

Also, there are boots. If you think your dog won't wear boots, you probably haven't tried the all natural rubber boots we carry here at the store. They are called Pawz Boots. The reason these boots work better than the fleece or thicker boots is because the dogs can feel the ground through Pawz boots. Dogs aren't as opposed to wearing them. The rubber helps to keep the boots on. Also, Pawz comes in packs of twelve so if one happens to come off, you just grab another. Last year, Hudson only used his original four. They range in price from $12.99 to $16.99 depending on the size.

We also carry the fleece boots with rubber bottom and toes.

As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call us at the store at 616-935-9588.

Keep those paws warm!
