7 Winter safety for your German Shorthaired Pointer Submitted by Lyndsay Ferguson With blizzards, wind, and snow throughout the winter months causing all of us to change our habits and routines drastically, you should also be prepared to make sure that your German Shorthaired Pointer is ready to have a safe and happy winter as well. It is easy to forget that your dog can be exposed to many winter hazards that might go unnoticed and cause harm to your furry friend. Of course winter is a great time of year for your dog to have fun running, playing and jumping in the snow however, here are some precautions you can take to ensure a safe and happy winter season. Do not leave your dog outside unsupervised for prolonged periods of time. Just because your dog has fur does not mean that he is able to stay outside in the cold. Dogs can suffer from exposure to cold the same way that humans can. Of course some breeds, such as Huskies and Bernese Mountain Dogs, are more situated to dealing with colder climates due to their long fur, however, you should still keep a watchful eye on your shorthair whenever they are playing in the snow. Always avoid allowing your dog to go outside if he is wet. Wet fur allows for the cold air to come in direct contact with your dogs skin, resulting in no protection from the cold climate. Dogs can suffer from hypothermia the same way we can. Always be cautious and careful around water. Your shorthairʼs fur in below freezing temperatures is a very poor insulator against the cold. Some veterinarians have suggested that when a short haired dog is in below freezing environments that it would feel the same as if you were standing outside in the cold in a t-shirt. Sweaters or jackets are a great option for short hair owners to bundle up their puppies whenever they are going for a walk, or a run on a trail. Some shorthairʼs will give you a hard time when you attempt to suit them up for the colder weather, so donʼt force your dog to wear something they will be uncomfortable in. Your shorthairʼs jacket should allow them to run and play freely while still providing the necessary protection from the cold. Dog boots are a wonderful way to keep your shorthairʼs feet safe from the harmful winter sidewalks and roadways of your neighborhood. Road salt can cause severe irritation to your dogs delicate pads on their feet and boots will not only keep them from painful paws, but also ensure a longer and more enjoyable time spent walking in the snow. Dog boots should fit snugly on the paw with the sole of the boot flat on the ground. The best idea is to take your dog along to your local pet store, if they allow

8 G.S.Paws online - January February Leashed animals, and try the boots and sizes that will be best for your canine companions. Always avoid allowing your dog to eat snow, ice, or anything else they may find buried. Too much snow can cause an upset stomach, not to mention how easy it is for dangerous objects to stay hidden and could be potentially fatal if swallowed. If you give your dog water outside your home or heated environment, always use a heated water bowl, or ensure that water be served at room temperature to avoid any harm. All dogs love the taste of antifreeze. With the winter driving months requiring us to use it you must be very cautious to not spill or leave unattended any amount of this dangerous chemical around your yard and home. Antifreeze is highly toxic for canines and unfortunately all dogs seem to love the stuff. Even a very small amount of antifreeze can cause severe internal damage to your shorthair, and even result in death. Even though winter can bring a variety of hazards and health concerns for you and your shorthair, it is still a wonderful time of year to have fun and enjoy the colder season. A happy dog owner is a prepared dog owner. Take the time to get ready for the cold and you and your shorthair will have a blast this winter.

11 GSPCC Rescues - Help them find forever homes! We have several dogs needing new homes. These guys have special needs and need a special person to love and care for them. If you know of anyone who would be able to give one of these guys their forever home, they would be forever grateful! Tucker Tucker is a sweet 9 year old neutered male GSP located in Nanaimo, BC. Tucker is a gentle old soul who loves to be with his people. Even though he is nine years old, he still has the energy and enthusiasm of a younger dog when outside. Inside, he is relatively calm, preferring to lay in the sunshine. Tucker has had a couple of surgeries which have ended his on land fetch career, but he can still fetch in the water. Tucker is best suited to someone who stays or works from home because he suffers from separation anxiety. Oakley Oakley has been waiting for over a year for her forever home. She is a six year old spayed GSP X located in Squamish, BC. She is a confident, happy and loving girl who loves to please. She gets along well with other dogs but does not like the overly assertive or overly social dogs that want to dominate. Oakley eats well, rides in a care well and doesn t mind a crate. She LOVES affection, nature, birds and the noises of the woods. She adjusts well to the hustle and bustle of the town. Oakley is ready to go and has been waiting very patiently for her forever home. Molly Molly is a six year old spayed female Pudelpointer who is great with kids and trained on invisible fence. Unfortunately she is not able to be crated and suffers from separation anxiety. Molly had a hard start to life until she was rescued by her current family. She had been neglected and left confined and alone in the basement of her first owners. As a result, Molly has separation anxiety and does not like to be left alone. Molly is a very sweet, affectionate dog who would be perfect for a home where the owners are home for longer periods of time and have the time and energy to meet her exercise needs. Molly is located in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia.
