When Cold Puts A Bite On Your Dog


Be aware that dogs can get frostbite, just as people can. The areas most likely to affect dogs are their ear tips, tail tips, and toes. Deb Eldredge, DVM, of Vernon, New York, warns dog owners to watch for the following symptoms, particularly on those areas of the body.
  • Coldness to the touch
  • White skin
  • Hard, dry skin
If you suspect your dog has frostbite, contact your veterinarian immediately.
