Snuggle Season Is Here—Let’s Keep Those Tails Wagging As temperatures drop, our furry friends feel the chill too. While some breeds are built for cold weather, many dogs—especially smaller or short-haired ones—need a little help staying cozy. Here’s how to keep your pup warm, safe, and happy this winter.
Dress for the Weather
Dog clothing isn’t just cute—it’s practical.
- Rugby hoodies and jerseys offer warmth and style, perfect for walks or lounging indoors.
- Choose breathable, fleece-lined materials that don’t restrict movement.
- Make sure the fit is snug but not tight, especially around the chest and neck.

Create a Cozy Sleeping Spot
Cold floors can be uncomfortable for pets.
- Use raised beds or add extra blankets.
- Position beds away from drafts and tile floors.
- Heated pet pads are great for older dogs with joint issues.
Feed for Warmth
Dogs burn more calories in winter to stay warm.
- Slightly increase food portions if your dog is active outdoors.
- Add warm, vet-approved treats like our biltong bars for a comforting snack.
Keep Moving
Exercise is still important—even when it’s cold.
-
Short, frequent walks help maintain fitness.
-
Dress your dog appropriately and avoid icy surfaces.
