Dog Coats and Winter

The weather forecast has one of the first powerful winter storms of the season moving from the pacific northwest to the rocky mountains and into the midwest for later on Thanksgiving week. This will be the first blast of cold and snow for most of the country and will catch everyone by surprise including our dogs. Cold and snow or not, we still need to get our dogs out for exercise. To make this easier we should all get our water and wind resistant coats out to keep us more comfortable. But what about the K9s? If your dog doesn't already have a coat, now might be the time to get one. There are some excellent coats on the market that will keep your dog warm, dry, and visible.

The UltraPaws dog coat available at YourActivePet.com provides all three protective elements in one. For winter there's nothing better - especially for short haired dogs since they are prone to getting chilled. The reflectivity of these coats is a bonus because you don't need to get a reflective vest to keep your dog visible - the coat does it! This is a very cost effective option.

Get prepared for the upcoming storm - hopefully it won't cause havoc with your travel plans.
