As pet owners, you may be wondering how to keep your puppy or dog happy when it is cold outside.

This is a good question as our dogs have different needs and may perform differently during the colder seasons. PetCenter would like to make sure that dog owners feel comfortable in caring for their dogs and make sure they feel at their best. There are several ways to keep your dog happy during the winter and we want to share ten suggestions with you.

• And here we go:

  -Buy your dog a fashionable sweater for the cold weather.
  -Purchase a harness jacket for walking your dog.
  -Avoid poisonous foods, such as Valentine’s Day chocolates.
  -Find a warm, comfortable, and safe place for your dog during the colder season.
  -Be sure to protect your doggie from candles or fireplaces.
  -Try to maintain the same schedule for eating, walking and playing with your pet despite the cold weather if possible.
  -Buy fun toys for your dog to play indoors when it’s too cold to go outside.
  -Build an indoor maze for your pup for a family fun day.
  -Schedule an indoor playdate to keep your dog or pup active when it’s too chilly to go outside.
  -Buy a comfortable cozy bed for your pet to sleep during the cold nights.
