Popular Light & UV Safety For Your Dog
Categories: Dog Health & CareIt’s important to remain safe when taking your dog for a walk in the early morning or at night, especially in the darker winter months. Kitting your dog out in suitable warm clothing such as jackets, vests, and even dog boots helps keep your dog comfortable, but you should also be thinking about staying visible.

Below we outline the basics of getting your dog used to wearing a muzzle.
Introducing your dog to the muzzle

Sight & Smell
