This is a NO-NO...




A dogs ear is very sensitive, full of sensory nerves that help to preserve hearing. Never, blow into a dogs ear, even gently can hurt a dog. It's not the actual act of wind, but the frequency at which you blow. It's like running your fingers on a blackboard, amplified hundreds of times.

Tips on Protecting Your Dog from The Winter Cold


  • Check your dog's paw pads after walks. Embedded snow can cause frostbite, and sharp ice can wound delicate paws. Ice crystals can quickly form in paws and ears damaging the tissue, and you won't see signs of the resulting frostbite until days later. Be careful with any frozen tissue and don't rub. Instead, simply soak in warm (not hot) water to try to restore circulation and wrap your dog in a warm blanket.

  • Wipe paw pads with a wet cloth to remove any antifreeze and salt residues after a walk. Dogs will lick this and possibly be poisoned or damage their delicate digestive tissues.

Now That's Talent!
