How to walk with animals in winter: humor, tips and adventures
With the onset of winter, many pet owners are faced with the question: how not to freeze and not get bored outside? Walking with animals in winter is like skiing without skis: you seem ready, but somehow not so much. Let’s make these walks not only warm, but also fun!
- Dress your pet according to the weather (and don’t forget to dress yourself!)
If you plan to go outside, dress so that you won’t get snowed in two meters from the entrance. This is also relevant for your pet! Overalls, hats, boots – don’t be shy, let your bulldog look like a fashionable rebel from the catwalk!
Rare advice: If your dog hates clothes, try using an old sweater – it will look stylish on it! After all, who said that your pet can’t be dressed in mom’s “everything is loose”?
- Watch the condition of their paws, not just the condition of your “fitness app”
While you’re counting steps, your dog might be freezing! Check their paws for snow and ice. If your dog starts limping like he has a work-related inflammatory disease, it’s time to pick him up!
Tip: Treat his paws with a special balm before a walk to prevent them from cracking. And don’t forget about snowshoes – they might be the new trend among your friends!
Make walks interesting (or at least less boring)
Winter walks can be a real test of your patience. Instead of the usual route, try a game of “fetch the snowman”. Hide the toy in the snow and let your pet have a “treasure hunt”. Funny? Definitely!
Humorous tip: If your dog starts “digging” the snow at some point, he might just be looking for a way to get his ears back!
- Avoid danger, but not boredom
On the street, as in life, there are many obstacles. Slippery roads, cold wind and terrible icicles ready to fall on you like a bad New Year’s gift. Be attentive to your pet and watch what he does.
Apt advice: If your dog stumbles, do not rush to scold him. He is just checking how well you can run in the snow!
- Completion of the adventure – rewards!
Upon returning home, it is time to reward your hero. A warm bowl of water, a favorite treat and a cozy place on the couch – this is all that is needed to make your pet feel like the king of winter. And you – his loyal subject.
Rare advice: Let your pet look under the tree. Perhaps he will find not only his toys there, but also your favorite cookies!
- And a little drama for dessert
Imagine: you are in the cold, fully equipped, confidently walking down the street with your pet. And suddenly he sees… A snowman! His eyes sparkle with excitement, and he rushes to attack! Snow flies in all directions, and you don’t have time to catch the moment for a photo. A snow fight breaks out, and here is your dog – his paws in the snow, and your hat flies into the sky, as if you threw it away in an argument about winter fashion styles.
Conclusion
Winter is not only cold, but also a time for fun adventures with your furry friends. Following these tips, you can make walks interesting, fun and safe. And remember: better laughter than tears! Share your winter stories and funny moments on social networks – let everyone know that winter with a pet is not only frost, but also a lot of fun!
