Is your Dog Ready for Winter?

No that’s not a joke, dogs, like humans, need to be prepped for colder weather too.

Anyone who owns a dog knows that they're an extended member of the family and typically the favourite member of the family at that!

Greenway Brews is very much a 'dog friendly' spot and always welcome our furry friends with open arms. But what about when Winter sets in - have you given thought to all the ways to keep your dog safe? We've put together some advice to ensure your dog is happy and warm throughout these colder months:

- Light up collar or lead

With the daker evenings upon us, it can be difficult to spot your dog when taking them on a walk. It's a good idea to get a light-up collar to assist you with this. This will also help others to spot your dog when approaching. Maxi Zoo have a selection of illuminated leads here

- Keep your dog away from frozen bodies of ice

In frozen temperatures it's a good idea to keep your dog on a leash and away from frozen bodies of water such as ponds, canals or rivers. It can be tempting for a dog to stand on the ice, oblivious to the dangers involved

- Don't let them drink from puddles

We all know a thirsty dog will drink from anywhere and everywhere but it's important to be vigilant in this regard as often puddles will contain anti-freeze which while seems very tasty to dogs, is actually very harmful to them

- Wash their paws after a walk

Gently wash their paws with a warm wet cloth when you return home, to remove traces of anti freeze from their paws. This is because dogs have a habit of licking their paws and with anti-freeze agent remaining on their paws, could make them very ill

- Olive Oil Rub / Balm

Consider rubbing olive oil or a balm into their paw pads before bed. This will help with dry cracked paws in those colder months. This happens from walking your dog the ground of on freezing temperatures. This has proven to be extremely helpful for dogs. See this video below on just how effective this can be

- Get your dog a coat

Purchase your dog a coat- particularly if they are short haired. Ensure they have a coat that fits them correctly and therefore insulates them sufficiently. Pet Mania has a great selection of dog jumpers and coats, click here to see for yourself

- Keep Walks Short

Keep walks to 15-20 minutes in freezing temperatures - dogs can get frostbite too. Frostbite can develop in dogs in as little as 30 minutes. If your dog is wet or damp, these are the areas most vulnerable when it comes to frostbite.

Here at Greenway Brews we love to meet your furry friends- dogs are always welcome. Did you know we offer dog treats and puppicinos complimentary to your pet, when a coffee is purchased? We also have a water stop especially for dogs, conveniently just outside.

Is there anything in particular you do to help your dogs get through the colder months? Share it with us in the comments. We'd also love to see photos of your dogs enjoying the great outdoors!

How to prepare your rescue dog for Halloween [9 tips]

[the-squidge]

A friendly reminder to fellow dog owners: PLEASE make sure your pup has a tag with readable contact info! This is the second time this summer that a hot and thirsty dog has wandered into my studio with no way to contact the owner. The dog in the pic had a tag, but the names and phone numbers had worn off. Fortunately the owners drove by and saw me with her. Today's dog had a collar with no tag, and wandered off before I could give it water or take a pic. Dogs get out - it's happened to me plenty of times, and without that call from a friendly stranger, they might never have come home. Please check your dog's tags! 🐩🐕💖🐶🐾 #keepyourdogsafe #dogsafety#dogsofinstagram #doglovers #dogstagram #doggo #floof https://www.instagram.com/p/CDhLejwn9lm/?igshid=v0v5s88syn2k

This is a tough weekend for many four and two-legged family members in America. Here are four easy tips that could help you help your four-legged family members through it. Have a safe and happy weekend! 1) Put a collar and name tags on your dog even if they have a microchip. You never know what could happen out of the ordinary when there are crazy noises outside that could cause your dog to flee. A name tag with 3 phone numbers will get your dog home to you faster than a microchip. 2) Exercise...A LOT... during the day. A tired pup will have less energy to pace and panic. 3)Turn on a TV or radio. Turning your devices on can drown out the noises and sounds from the fireworks. 4) If you leave, put your dog in a crate. At the very least, put your pup in a room with no windows. You might be surprised what a panicked dog can tear up when they are scared and trying to flee. Windows can be easier than you think to break out of. #celebration #FourthOfJuly #KeepYourDogSafe #nametags #microchips #nowindows https://www.instagram.com/p/BzjgCiznuDQ/?igshid=5ax8306m0jre

So this happened today...while walking today with my on foot crew we encountered 2 dogs off leash that ran right into our pack and caught us all by surprise! Luckily nothing happened. However we where fortunate nothing happened it could've gone horribly Bad! While these dogs where nice we did not know them, we saw them go into a nearby backyard and figured that's where they lived. Nobody was outside supervising them... thankfully for us they didn't follow us and no harm came to our crew. Please please LEASH YOUR DOG...and don't let them run amuck in the neighbourhood! #woofwaggleandwalk #leashyourdog #onleash #onleashtoronto#dogsoffleash #loosedog #localdogs #neighborhooddog #keepyourdogsafe #torontodogs #torontodogwalker #dogsoftoronto #poundingthepavement#streetsoftoronto (at York, Toronto)
