Meet Maizey, Boulder’s Dog of the Day, who has been making the most of the snowy season in Boulder, Colorado. With a favorite play bone in paw, Maizey’s boundless joy in the snow is a reminder of how magical winter can be. Whether frolicking through fresh drifts, chewing on the beloved toy, or just enjoying the crisp mountain air, Maizey is the perfect picture of winter happiness.

Winter in Boulder offers endless opportunities for dogs like Maizey to explore and play. From snow-covered trails at Chautauqua Park to wide-open spaces at Valmont Dog Park, Boulder provides a dog-friendly haven year-round. The city’s beautiful winters, with their bright blue skies and pristine snowy landscapes, create the ultimate playground for four-legged adventurers.

Of course, while Maizey might be thrilled to romp around in the snow, winter weather does come with its challenges for pets. Keeping dogs safe and comfortable during Boulder’s colder months is essential. Here are a few tips to ensure your furry friends have a great time in the snow:

1. Stay Warm: Dogs with thinner coats or smaller breeds may benefit from a warm jacket or sweater. Even a few extra layers can make a big difference on chilly days.
2. Paw Care is Key: Snow, ice, and salt can irritate paws. Protect your dog with booties or paw balm, and be sure to wipe their feet after walks.
3. Hydrate: Even in cold weather, dogs can become dehydrated. Ensure they always have access to fresh water before and after their winter adventures.
4. Supervise Outdoor Play: While dogs like Maizey might want to stay out all day, it’s important to monitor their time in the cold to prevent frostbite or discomfort.

Maizey’s playful energy and love for the snow remind us of how special winter in Boulder can be. From outdoor adventures to cozy evenings indoors, dogs like Maizey make every season brighter. Congratulations, Maizey—you’re a true winter star and Boulder’s Dog of the Day!
