Safety Precautions for Toy Dogs
Before acquiring a toy dog please follow these tips.
- Young children must be supervised around the dog.
- If you already own a big dog, watch how it relates to the toy dog.
- Provide a large cage for the dog, so that when you are away from home it has room to move around freely and be out of harms way.
- Always know where the dog is, toy dogs have been accidentally stepped on, sat on, and kicked.
- Always use a leash when you are walking your dog.
- Always crate your dog when traveling.
"Winterizing" for Your Toy Dog
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” –Mahatma Gandhi
Keep Your Dog’s Paws Dry
Rinse your dog’s feet and dry them completely after a walk. This helps avoid tiny cuts and cracked pads. A little petroleum jelly may soften the pads and prevent further cracking. Or better yet, Pick up your Toy Dog as they lose heat walking on the cold ground.
Groom Your Dog Regularly
Your dog needs a well-groomed coat to keep properly insulated. Towel or blow-dry your dog if it gets wet from rain or snow. Keep Your Dog Warm, Dry, and Away From Drafts. Tiles and uncarpeted areas may become extremely cold. Place blankets and pads on floors in these areas.Consider a coat especially if it is a short haired breed i.e. Min Pin. You might buy him a fleece winter coat of his own or a sweatshirt with your favorite team logo.
Watch Out for Winter Hazards
Don’t leave your dog outside for long periods of time. Wind chill makes days colder than actual temperature readings, and dogs are susceptible to frostbite on their ears, tails, and feet.
Remember to shovel off a place in the snow for them to use the bathroom. (They have short legs)
Please give them a warm bed they can snuggle in that is away from drafts.
Don’t leave your dog alone in a car. It gets too cold, and carbon monoxide from an engine left running is dangerous.
Antifreeze: Although it smells and tastes good to your dog, antifreeze is highly poisonous and can be lethal.
Cold weather brings its own safety and health concerns for both people and dogs. As a responsible dog owner, it is important to pay attention to your dog’s well-being during the winter.

We would like to express our sympathy to our club members who have suffered a loss this year.
.All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown
