The Effect of Cold Weather on Your Body and Your Dogs Body
Have you ever wondered what effects these "cold snaps" have on your dog's body? Or even your own? I always used to think December was the heart of "Winter" as a kid but i seem to have chosen to forget about January and February even though i grew up with snow drifts...
