There is some really good advice on that link Catherine.
The best idea is never letting our animals get to the stage when they get frostbite. But I do admit, ears and tails can be a problem. Most dogs love it in the snow and don't mind the ice. Some roll in it and slide along. It's up to us to be sensible about how much exposure they get and how low the temperatures are.
Even good exercise which would keep their core temperature good, so they wouldn't feel cold, is still no protection for ears and tails!
