Winter Walking Tips from Tilted Barn Pet Co.

With the severe drops in temperature we Canadians see each winter, we must watch the temperature to make sure it is appropriate for our fur babies to be walking in. Dogs need regular exercise and stimulation, some more than others (border collies we are looking at you!), so we can’t just keep our dogs inside all winter.

There isn’t a set temperature to not walk your dogs in, since there are so many differences in temperature tolerance between small and large dogs, long-haired and short-haired, single-coated and double-coated, healthy and over or underweight dogs, and more. We also must take note of whether the sun is out, if it’s raining or snowing, or a strong wind (meaning a colder temperature due to wind chill). Here are 3 winter walking tips from Tilted Barn Pet Co.!

Dog Treats Going Moldy Is a Good Thing. No, Really!

You might not think of mold as a good sign, but if your dog’s treats eventually grow mold, then it means you’re feeding your pup natural, preservative-free goodies that will help them enjoy a happy and active life.

Finding a loaf of moldy bread in your pantry might be an inconvenience that means an unscheduled trip to the grocery store, but most people are used to the idea that food naturally spoils. But as a pet parent, have you ever wondered why your dog’s food or treats never seem to go bad?
