Winter Walks

The Ramblers' Association has a fantastic 'festival of winter walks' that are open to everyone, with hundreds of walks happening across the country.

With routes ranging from three to ten miles, all with experienced walk leaders, it is easy to make regular walking a New Year resolution!

Don't forget that snow can quickly build up around your dog’s feet and legs and even their bellies, depending on how much snow there is, or how tall your dog is. There are various items of dog clothing that can help protect their feet and legs, from little boots to waterproof suits.

After each walk, check your dog's coat for any entangled objects and check between your dog’s pads for stones or hardened mud. Clean between their pads and toes to prevent salt and ice from causing irritation. A warm bowl of water should do the trick. Don’t use hot water - you don’t want to give your pooch chilblains or cause any discomfort!
