STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Winter is coming and the American Pet Products Association (APPA) wants to keep pets safe and warm this season. As pet owners, it's important to recognize the dangers of cold weather and what products are available to help ensure safety. Snow and cold surfaces can cause chapped paws, itchy and flaky skin and other hazards for pets. Additionally, it's important to monitor a pet's hygiene during the colder months because its coat can become dry and require extra moisture. Similar to humans, pets react to the colder temperatures differently based on size, activity level, age and health. Below is a round-up of products manufactured by APPA members designed to help pets safely enjoy the colder season.
Grab your jacket and keep on walking. The Element Jacket by EzyDog provides warmth and protection that enables dogs to join your adventures even under adverse conditions.
