With the tips from Martina Flocken and products from Wolters, dogs come safely through autumn and winter
Verden. When the days get shorter and moisture, wind and cold make the walks difficult, dogs need special attention. Seniors or four -legged friends with diseases of the musculoskeletal system suffer more from tension, pain or susceptibility to infections in the cold season. But young and healthy dogs also benefit from warmth, care and mindful care. “With the right equipment and a little additional care, we can support our dogs excellently- and not only make the winter bearable, but really comfortable,” says the certified dog physiotherapist, phyto and mycotherapist Martina Flocken.
Here are five tips from the author Martina Flocken, with whom dogs can relax through the winter:
- Dog coat as protection against cold and moisture
Freezing feels just as much for dogs as for us humans. The result is often painful tension. In addition, freezing means great stress for the dog. “A dog coat is not a fashionable accessory, but a real health assistant for many dogs,” emphasizes Flocken. Shortly furry dogs, seniors or animals with joint diseases benefit particularly from this. Cape Drizzle from Wolters, for example, reliably protects the shoulder, hip and back from cold and moisture and at the same time ensures freedom of movement – ideal for walks in dirty weather. - Thorough drying after walks
Moisture in the fur or on the paws can lead to tension, colds or even bladder infections. “Drying after a walk is not only a hygiene question, but real health care,” says Flocken. It is best to use a absorbent, soft towel that feels good for the dog, but at the same time you can also absorb dirt well. Practical helpers are also the Cleankeeper Dry Bone or the Dry Glove from Wolters, who particularly absorb moisture and dirt. The Easy Clean Dog Brademate then ensures even more well -being, into which the dog can snuggle up comfortably. - Pfot care against cracks and irritation
Strousy salt, grit and dry heating air heavy the bales. Regular care with a natural paw balm protects against cracks and drying out. For this, Martina Flocken has a simple recipe for making her own, which she reveals in this article in the Wolters magazine. “The application can be wonderfully combined with a small massage – this not only strengthens the paws, but also the bond between man and dog.” - Cleanliness and comfort on the go
If you travel with a dog, you know the challenge: wet paws and dirt in the camper or car. The dog trainer recommends the Cleankeeper travel pad from Wolters. “It reliably absorbs residual moisture, remains hygienic and at the same time is so cozy that dogs also love it as a blanket or bed.” Thanks to its space -saving shape, it is the perfect companion for on the go. - Mindfulness and movement in everyday life
Not every dog wants long walks in winter. “It is important to respect the dog's needs,” says Martina Flocken. Instead, there are short, weather -adapted rounds, supplemented by employment in your own four walls: search games, mobility exercises or a sniffing carpet are ideal alternatives and keep body and mind fit.
“The cold season can be demanding for dogs – but with a few simple measures we ensure that you get healthy, satisfied and relaxed through autumn and winter,” summarizes the dog expert. The products presented are available in the Wolters online shop, www .wol ters-cat -dog .de.
