Winter Dog Care Tips: How to Keep Your Pet Warm and Comfy Indoors

Winter may bring chilly winds, but it also brings more nap time, cuddles, and indoor bonding.
For dogs, especially small breeds or short-haired pups, colder months mean it's time to adjust their routine for warmth and comfort. Here’s how to help your dog stay cozy all season long.


🛏️ 1. Choose a Warm, Insulated Pet Bed

Avoid thin or worn-out mats. A thick, plush dog bed helps insulate from cold floors and provides joint support. Pawooz’s winter beds are designed with soft fillings, raised edges, and cozy textures—ideal for longer naps.


🌞 2. Move the Bed to a Draft-Free Area

Position your dog’s bed away from windows, hallways, or tiles. Try placing it in a sunlit corner or near your living area, where it’s warmer and they feel included.


🧺 3. Add Layers for Extra Comfort

Some dogs love to burrow. Lay a fleece blanket or washable throw over their bed so they can snuggle up. It’s a simple touch that makes a big difference.


🐾 4. Keep Their Routine Active

While walks may be shorter in the cold, gentle indoor play or sniff sessions keep them stimulated and warm. After outdoor time, be sure to dry their paws and belly thoroughly.


❤️ 5. Pay Attention to Senior or Small Dogs

Older dogs and toy breeds are more sensitive to cold. If your dog is shivering, reluctant to move, or always curled tight, they may need more warmth.

Comfort starts with where they rest.
