Cold Snaps in the Alamo City: Cathy's Critter Care Offers Winter Dog Walking Tips for San Antonio Pet Owners

Though San Antonio is far from the frigid climates of the North, winter here can still deliver sudden temperature drops, hard freezes, and weather conditions that can impact your dog's health and safety. Cathy's Critter Care, the city's trusted provider of professional pet sitting and dog walking services, has published a new blog post offering practical guidance for local pet owners. Titled "Winter Dog Walking in San Antonio: Cold Weather Tips," the article provides useful insight into how seasonal weather patterns-like the infamous blue norther-can affect dogs during daily walks and how owners can prepare.

Most winter days in San Antonio bring mild temperatures that are safe for midday outings, but Cathy Vaughan, founder of Cathy's Critter Care, cautions against being caught off guard by extreme weather swings. "We've had mornings start at a comfortable 65 degrees and end below freezing," Vaughan said. "It's important for pet parents in our area to understand how fast the weather can change, and to make choices that protect their pups from sudden drops in temperature." The blog outlines key strategies for safely walking dogs during colder days, including timing your outings carefully, adjusting walk duration, and dressing your pet appropriately in colder conditions.

The post comes as a reminder that even in South Central Texas, winter weather can be unpredictable. The February 2021 snowstorm is still fresh in the minds of San Antonio residents who found themselves-and their pets-unprepared for severe cold. Vaughan, a former San Antonio Zoo keeper and biologist with more than two decades of pet-care experience, emphasizes the importance of staying informed. "It doesn't have to be freezing for pets to feel uncomfortable or be at risk. Recognizing the signs of cold stress in dogs is just as important here as it is up north," she added.

The blog is part of Cathy's Critter Care's ongoing efforts to build stronger communities by sharing practical, pet-focused guidance tailored to the needs of San Antonio and New Braunfels families. With more pet parents working busy schedules, the company encourages having a plan in place-whether that's bundling up for brisk winter walks, or trusting an experienced dog walker who truly understands the local climate's quirks.
