❄️ Too Cold for a Walk?

Hi, I'm Charlie, an 18 lb doodle with opinions about cold paws. Tell me about your dog and the weather and I'll give you a rough idea of how long a walk stays comfy.

Temperature outside (feels-like is best)

Anything extra? (tap all that apply)

Winter walk tips from a dog

Wipe paws after walks: road salt and de-icer sting and aren't for licking. Booties or paw balm help.
Antifreeze tastes sweet and is very poisonous. Keep us away from puddles in driveways.
Shorter, more frequent walks beat one long freezing one. Indoor games count too (find-the-treat!).
Shivering, lifting paws, slowing down, whining, or trying to turn home = time to go in.
Snowballs in curly fur are real. A quick trim between paw pads helps.

This is a rough, friendly guide, not veterinary advice. Every dog is different. If your dog seems very cold, lethargic, or confused, warm them up and call your vet.
