Winter brings cold, humidity and changes in routine. This directly affects the welfare of our dogs, so adapting their food and type of snacks is key to keep them healthy and active.

In this season, many dogs:

- They may suffer more joint problems
🥣 Nutritional recommendations for cold weather

More active dogs may need extra calories.
✔ Increase natural snacks rich in protein.
Ideal for maintaining muscle and energy.
Examples: tracheas, ears, natural bones.

Cold reduces water consumption.
🦴 Natural snacks ideal for the winter season
