As winter rolls in, we focus on keeping our dogs warm and snug. Yet, their hardworking paws often get overlooked! The colder, wetter months bring a unique set of challenges and hidden dangers for delicate doggy foot pads. At Bark & Bubbles, we'll help you understand these risks and provide essential tips and grooming solutions to keep those paws healthy and happy all season long.

Ever notice how some dogs seem unfazed by the cold, sporting a thick, luxurious coat? It's natural to assume that all that fur equals superior warmth. And while it's true that many breeds have a double coat specifically designed for insulation, there's a crucial element to consider for their year-round comfort: proper grooming. Did you know, a dense, matted undercoat – the very thing meant to provide warmth – can actually become a hindrance to your dog's ability to regulate its temperature effectively! The key to unlocking your furry friend's comfort lies in understanding the power of deshedding. This process of removing the excess “love fibers”, isn't just about a tidy home; it's a vital step in allowing their natural insulation system to function properly, keeping them cozy in winter without the risk of overheating when things warm up.

Double-coated dogs, with their layers and layers of fur, are built for all seasons, including winter. However, many pet owners often believe that winter means less grooming. In reality, the thicker winter coat presents unique challenges, especially the increased risk of matted fur and skin problems. Let's delve into why winter deshedding is crucial for your furry friend's health and comfort.
