The furred too need good cover

Winter tips to keep your favorite critters warm. Does winter make your pooch cuddle up on the sofa or under a lazy blanket? Then you need to act on it right now and get your dog the winter care he needs.

Most owners believe in the idea that their pets can bear with the cold better than humans because of their furry coats. This isn't necessarily true. Though all pets do have a coat to keep them warm, they too need that extra care during the winters. Just getting your dog a coat isn't enough. You've to look out for odd behaviors as well.

Dr. Israni, a veterinarian based out of Delhi says, “If it's too cold for you to stand outside without your coat, then it's probably too cold for your dog as well. So pay attention to his behavior outside. If you see him shivering or looking anxious, or searching for places to hide, it's time to get him in.”

Temperature talk!
Most breeds in India aren't blessed with a thick fur that keeps them warm naturally and hence they need a coat or sweater to keep them warm. A good coat is the one that reaches from the neck to the tail and also covers the belly.

Everybody loves the sunshine!
The sun is the biggest source of Vitamin D which helps in keeping your pet healthy. 
Take your dog out for a walk when the weather is warm, instead of early morning or late evening, says Dr. Vatsal Soni. The Bangalore based vet also suggests playing with your dog when the sun is out. “The sun and exercise with do both you and your dog some good.”
