Meet Addison, Boulder’s Dog of the Day, captured in an epic picture enjoying the winter snow. This fluffy adventurer is the embodiment of joy as she bounds through the powder, proving that Boulder’s winter is a playground for dogs.

Boulder, Colorado, averages about 89 inches of snowfall per year, making it a snowy paradise for dogs like Addison who thrive in the crisp, frosty air. The city’s parks and trails, transformed into sparkling white wonderlands, are perfect for snow-loving pups to romp and play. From Valmont Dog Park to the snowy paths around Wonderland Lake, Boulder offers plenty of spaces where dogs can safely enjoy the winter magic.

While winter brings fun, it also requires care. Dogs’ paws can be sensitive to icy surfaces and snow buildup. Pet-safe wax or booties help protect their pads, while regular checks for snow clumps between toes can prevent discomfort. Always ensure your pup stays hydrated, even in the cold, and watch for signs of hypothermia, such as shivering or lethargy, especially in smaller or short-haired breeds.

Winter in Boulder isn’t just for fun—it’s also a season that wildlife adapts to impressively. From foxes traversing the snow to deer searching for food, Boulder’s natural beauty is alive even in the frostiest months. For pets like Addison, the snowy landscape is a reminder of nature’s resilience and beauty.

Addison’s playful energy reminds us to embrace the season with enthusiasm. Her love for the snow is infectious, inspiring dog owners across Boulder to bundle up and head outdoors. Whether it’s chasing snowballs or simply enjoying the serene winter scenes, Addison shows how dogs in Boulder make the most of the snow.
