Paws For Thought

“Dogs are an investment in happiness. And they’re worth every cent.”

Paw Health
Cold Weather Calories

Even in South Florida, cooler ❄️ days can make your dog burn more energy. When temperatures drop, dogs use extra calories to stay warm and active, especially during longer walks or playtime.

If your pup is on the lean side or spends more time outdoors, consider adding a little extra food 🥩 to their meals. Just keep an eye on their body shape. Ribs should still be easy to feel but not visible. Small adjustments can keep your dog healthy and full of energy through the season.
