January is national walk your dog month! 🐶 Here are 4 top tips from us at Gladwells Pet & Country Store…
🐾 If weather turns icy or you even see some snow, keep dogs on a lead at all times to keep them safe. Snow can hide a number of dangers if you’re not familiar with the area.
🐾 Make sure your dog’s collar has identification tags attached and is microchipped with the correct contact information in case you get separated.
🐾 Winter usually means shorter and colder walks which don’t leave as much time for exploring and adventure. Try adding some simple treat based training on your walks to keep pets busy even on nearby pathways.
🐾 Remember to dress your dog, and yourself, in plenty of visible clothing and accessories so that you can be seen when walking in the dark. Hi vis coats and light up tags are great for this, but only use what your pet is comfortable with to avoid distress.
Our stores stock a wide range of items essential for walkies. Including leads, collars, training treats, dog coats, wellies and more. Each store also offers a FREE harness fitting service for dogs!
