When this happens, there is no pain that occurs. Pain and discomfort only occurs when the tissue becomes warm. In case you suspect frostbite in dogs, treatment must begin immediately. First warm the affected part with warm water. Ensure that the water is not too hot. You can also use warm compresses over the affected area. Do not use heat directly on the body with a hair dryer or heating pad.
