It's getting chilly - protect your dog!

Fall is in full force; the trees are changing to their autumn colors, the temperatures are cooler and those winter winds are right around the corner. Our dogs need to keep warm just as we do!
At Swanky Pooch Pawtique, not only do we care about dog fashion, we care about the health and safety of all pets and animals.

If your dog stays outside there are a few tips to keep them happy and healthy during the changing of the weather:

Have your dog adequate dog shelter that keeps them away from weather, such as rain or snow, with a covering that will protect them from drafts. Give your dog a warm, comfortable dog blanket or dog bed and check it often for dampness. Dog bedding should be large enough for the dog to get in however; dog beds and dog blankets needs to be snug to keep them surrounded with body heat. The Slipper Dog Bed would be a great addition to your dog's living space indoors or outdoors.

Keep your pooch well groomed to keeps their paws free of ice and snow. Take a look at the stylish dog boots we have to help with harsh conditions! Whether cold or just a cool day, dog footwear is very important in the health of your dog.

Make sure to have a cute dog coat, like the Bella Lucca South Hampton Dog Slicker. Not only is this dog coat waterproof for those rainy days, but the precious ruffle accents make your pooch into a swanky fashionista! Swanky Pooch Pawtique has a great selection of dog coats, dog raincoats and dog parkas.

The Swanky Pooch Pawtique's Bella Lucca London Scarf would be great worn high on the neck to keep warmth in and those tender little ears warm.

Swanky Pooch Pawtique encourages all dog owners and pet owners to go the extra mile this winter season and keep your dog warm and healthy. Visit the American Kennel Club for more information on health and safety during the winter.
