How cold is too cold?

July 13, 2023by HOMEMAKERS Editor0 comments
Keep pets warm this winter

Keep your hot dogs from becoming slush puppies this winter!

If you are one of those bedsharing puppy parents who can’t fall asleep without the sweet aroma of doggy breath in your bed, and you keep your pooch snuggled under your duvet from April to October, then we are not talking to you. You do you, and if you think dog hair is the perfect bedroom accessory, then we won’t judge you.

If, however, you love your pets but draw the line at doggie burps in your bed, then this is for you.

Winter is always a tricky time for pet owners, but it doesn’t have to be.

These are our favourite doggy warmers:

Infrared heating lamps

Infrared heaters work by converting electricity into radiant heat. It is basically the same type of warmth you feel when the warm winter sun shines on your face. It’s also the same heat that your own body emits.

Warming pads and orthopaedic beds

Warming pads can give your dogs a warm place to sleep all winter long and if you pair a heating pad with a memory foam or plush bed, your dog won’t want to leave their nest.

Insulated kennels

If your dogs are outside dogs, you can keep them safe and warm without to much fuss, as long as you give them a comfy hideout. Insulated kennels can work for both winter and summer ensuring that your dog’s sleep space just doesn’t reach the extremes of temperature of the outside world.

Lucky & Lou Doggy Jerseys

Posh Pooches

If you believe your pooch deserves nothing but the best, then it’s time to take the next step and visit Lucky & Lou. At Lucky & Lou, you’ll discover a wide range of designer couture for your beloved four-legged friend. Not only will you keep them warm with stylish knitted jerseys, but you can also find matching couture for yourself, creating a fashionable duo that turns heads during your cosy afternoon walks.

Also read our article on Luxury Pet Fashion.

Spare a thought for the rest.

Now that we have your own pets sorted, why not get a bit altruistic. If you think your own doggy gets cold at night, what about all those animals in shelters?

Spread the love this winter and donate or volunteer to an animal shelter in your area.

When you do decide to donate to your local shelter, just keep in mind the mechanics of animal shelters. Because of the high number of animals at these shelters, they have to be extremely strict about cleanliness and disinfecting. This means that blankets and bedding should be able to withstand rigorous washing.
