We got our first real snow here last night, so I got my whole family dressed to go out and play. Of course this includes my dog, who loves to run and play in the snow.
I like to dress my dog in a sweater and boots when she is out running in the snow. Why? Not only does it look super-cute, but there is actually a very practical reason for this too...
Our dogs paws have pads that are very sensitive. The ice and snow can be very cold for their sensitive paws. If you use salt or a de-icer to melt the snow and ice, this can cut and burn your dogs paws. The snow and ice can also get stuck between your dogs paws and freeze, causing pain while they walk. So put them in boots (and why not get cute ones!)
I love these adorable Brown and Tan boots from the Sassy Pup (also available in black and silver, white and tan, pink and white and pink and tan). Made of PU leather, they have rubber soles and zippers closed in the front for quick and easy on and off. They were designed for comfort and fit, and come in a set of four with travel bag. Available in 3 sizes (XS, S, and M), these boots are currently 35% off (only $12.99!)
Stone-Healing.com offers a wide variety of holistic solutions for pets and their people. The possibilities for stone-healing are endless. The theory behind stone-healing is that all things vibrate at a different frequency. The goal is to choose a stone that's vibrations help heal your pets ailments. Harold tried the yellow jadeite.
Yellow jadeite represents aspects of protection and favorable fortune and harmony for your pet. One of the benefits of yellow jadeite is its ability to treat disorders of the reproductive organs. Harold has no more reproductive organs so it can't help him there. Other benefits include assistance in the reduction of pain in the sides, hip and legs as well as providing stabilization. I don't speak dog so Harold can't tell me if the stone is helping but it is an attractive accessory.
Beyond the medicinal possibilities the stones are cute accessories for any dog. They come in three sizes: teacup, small and large/medium. Remember that each stone is one of a kind, and no two stones are alike. Each unique healing stone charm is accompanied with its own silver clasp and "love my dog charm" that attaches to your pets collar ring. Although it is tempting to get the color that you like the most, pay attention to the healing properties each stone provides. This product is available for your cat or horse companions too!
