Can Dogs Get Frostbite?

With the very cold end of year snap throughout North America, it’s not just us we need to worry about but our pets as well. Dogs are going to be susceptible to suffering from the cold and needless to say, with subzeo temperatures and snow, dogs should not be left outdoors at all.

But most of us want to try and keep exercising our dogs. Is frostbite a concern? You’ll be all rugged up, but what risk is there for your dog in extremely cold temperatures?

Dog snowshoes and other cold weather gear is widely available and can mean the difference between getting your dog safely outdoors for exercise during winter or being stuck indoors.
