Winter Coats and Boots for Pets

During the winter months, your pet may get cold from walking outside in the ice and snow. Ice melt and sidewalk salt are also dangerous for your pet to get on their paws! If your pet gets cold easily, we recommend dressing them in a properly fitted winter jacket and boots or protective shoes. Ask us for advice if you have questions!
