Wow! Its really cold there!
I live in New York...and if I remember correctly the temperature will go down to 20 degrees this weekend (wind chill will make it feel like 10). That is nothing compared to what you're experiencing...
Well to answer your question...this is my Duchess' first winter and i've put boots on her only to protect her paws from the salt that is put down in the streets here. The salt was the only concern I had for her...other then being warm. It was too funny watching her get use to them. She is a pro now...running and jumping in the snow- its TOO CUTE!
I've read some articles that stress the importance of protecting their little paws from the bitter cold and even the heat in the summer. I guess it depends on the amount of time you have her out. Hope that helped some. |
