How does a Golden Retriever spend the winter? Choose nutritionally balanced dog food, ensure the Golden Retriever gets enough exercise, and avoid cold and rain. Place the kennel in a warm place at home, away from ventilation; control the Golden Retriever’s food intake, and lay out blankets or thick towels in the kennel at home. Always keep probiotics on hand; protect your Golden Retriever’s paws when going out for activities, and wipe them with a hot towel after returning home to check for foreign matter.

The temperature changes greatly in winter, so it is necessary to prevent pets from catching colds. There are two causes of golden retriever colds. One is viral cold caused by viruses; the other is general cold caused by sudden changes in temperature and lack of insulation measures. Puppies, malnourished golden retrievers and golden retrievers with poor immunity are particularly susceptible to colds. Therefore, preventing and treating colds mainly starts with strengthening the physical fitness of domestic dogs. In addition to feeding your golden retrievers well and choosing a nutritionally balanced dog food, you must also ensure that your golden retrievers get enough exercise to enhance their physical fitness. When the climate changes, you should pay attention to keeping warm to avoid cold and rain. The kennel must be placed in a warmer place at home and away from ventilation.

In winter, golden retrievers may suffer from diarrhea, vomiting, and indigestion. Golden Retrievers are afraid of heat and have anorexia in summer, but their appetite becomes particularly good in winter. At this time, owners need to control their food intake to prevent Golden Retrievers from indigestion due to overeating. Laying clean blankets or thick towels in the kennel will help the golden retriever keep warm and prevent the golden retriever from suffering from gastrointestinal discomfort due to cold. You can always keep probiotics at home to help Golden Retrievers digest, balance intestinal flora, and protect the Golden Retriever’s stomach.

Pay attention to the golden retriever’s feet. The soles and pads of Golden Retrievers are also relatively fragile in winter and are prone to dryness, cracking and peeling. Parents should pay attention to protecting the soles of golden retrievers when taking them out for activities. After returning home, wipe the golden retriever's paws with a hot towel, massage them for a few minutes, and check whether there are any foreign objects on the golden retriever's paws.
