Dogs need to be brushed, but depending on the changing seasons, this may need to be done more often, especially when it comes to cold weather.

Experts remind that dogs need to be brushed more often in winter. A simple procedure will help keep your pet healthy.

Snow and moisture can accumulate in a dog’s long fur, so it needs to be shaken off, veterinarian Margarita Shirokozhukhova told Gazeta.ru.

One of the precautions to take while walking is to brush the animal's fur.

The reason is that the habitat of domestic dogs is bright and warm apartments.

In such conditions, molting can occur regardless of the season. Due to disruptions, pets are not always ready for the cold.

To ensure that the coat is renewed more actively, the animal needs to be brushed two to three times a week.

Small breed dogs and dogs without undercoat should be walked in warm clothing.

But it is important to remember that knitted wool clothing will protect against hypothermia only in dry and frosty weather.

In the rain, it is better to use overalls and raincoats.

You also need to ensure that your dog has a balanced diet to avoid weight loss and loss of muscle mass.
