Winter can be a cozy time of the year, but it can also be a bone-chilling one too. Just as you & I prep for the cold with extra blankets, warm slippers, & thermal outdoor gear, we need to do the same for our pets too. It's absolutely freezing here now! ⛄

Luckily, for Riley & Bentley, they are indoors most of the colder months. However, like most small breeds, they have fine fur & do get chilly inside---which is why they layer up!

If you have pets--inside or outside be sure to look out for their well-being.
Here are a few ways to keep your dogs {and cats} warm & safe this winter:
- Coats: Invest in a coat for your pet--if you have a bigger dog, they are probably warm enough inside without one, but outdoors they should wear something warm --like this winter pet jacket.
- Dog Booties: While there is pet-friendly snow-salt not everyone uses them! Slipping pet booties on your dog's feet for winter walks & potty-breaks will keep their paws safe.
- Heated Water Bowls: If you keep your animals outdoors--be mindful of the temps--as water freezes first--for working & outdoor animals they have pet bowls that are heated. Here's a link to a thermal pet water bowl
- Winter's Wrath: Watch the forecast--dog's body temperatures are between 101 and 102 degrees F--they can suffer frostbite & hypothermia just like humans!
- Warm Beds: Create a cozy & warm place for them to sleep. A nice bed, warm blankets, even a little spot the heater/fireplace will have your pup cozy for a long winter's nap. I love this snuggle P.LA.Y. pet bed.

Riley & Bentley are enjoying their new pet bed {it's light blue w/ a houndstooth print} from
P. L.A.Y. Which is not ''your everyday dog bed.'' Their beds are 100% natural cotton, made from recycled materials, {& most importantly} 100% machine washable!
As the seasons' change & you want to switch up your home decor, they outer covers unzip & you can slip on a new design. When you're shopping, they break it down by--small, medium, & large dogs--while Riely & Bentley are small they are in a P. L.A.Y. size medium bed {so, they can sleep together}.
Aside from beds, they specialize in luxe blankets & throws to protect your furniture from doggy damage in a variety of textures & colors. Follow P.L.A.Y on Instagram @PETPLAYSF
