Winter vacationing with your dog may provide you with more options than during regular high season. Generally, lower visitors allow flexibility in dog-related rules. The Working Dogs Book Store has a great listing of publications where much of the research has been done.
As long as you take some cold weather precautions like: Thoroughly wipe off your dog's legs and stomach when she comes in out of the rain, snow or ice. Check her sensitive paw pads, which may bleed from snow or ice encrusted in them. Also, salt, antifreeze or other chemicals could hurt your dog if she ingests them while licking her paws.
This tip and others can be found covered by the ASPCA's list (ignore the first two tips they are about cats) of many cold weather concerns which can be easily remedied with a little owner forethought. So consider packing the dog too on your next winter adventure.
