Wishbone's Tip:

Just because we haven't seen much snow yet this season, doesn't mean we shouldn't be prepared. It is coming folks, so please protect our paws!

Our feet (aka: paws) need protection from the elements too. If our pads get dry, cracked or injured, it is bad news for us and you! Many dangers from snow, ice and chemicals (used in salts) can be toxic. We can get frostbite, chemical burns and cuts.

Don't fret though, solutions are available. You can protect our pads with a variety of balms made for dogs: Vasoline and doggie boots. Make sure our fur is groomed appropriately so "snow balls" can't get stuck between the pads. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for boots so they stay securely on our feet. If you prefer the balm, just be sure to wipe our feet thoroughly before you give us the run of the house. We don't want to be the reason there's a dirty floor.

Healthy Paws mean a Happy Dog!

R-Value

An R-value is a unit of thermal resistance for a particular material or assembly of materials (such as an insulation panel). The R-value depends on a solid material's resistance to conductive heat transfer. For loose or porous material, the R-value accounts for convective and radiative heat transfer through the material.
