Keeping cats safe and comfortable in cold weather is important, especially if they spend time outdoors or are in a drafty home. Here are some tips to help:

1) Keep them indoors: Cats are generally safer indoors during cold weather. If they are outdoor cats, try to bring them inside during extreme weather.
2) Provide cozy spots: Cats love warmth. Set up a soft, warm bed in a quiet, draft-free area. Heated pet beds or pads are great for added warmth, but make sure they’re safe and designed for pets.
3) Dry and clean paws: Snow, ice, and salt can cause discomfort or injury to a cat’s paws. After outdoor time, clean and dry their paws to avoid frostbite or irritation from de-icing chemicals.
4) Keep them hydrated: Cats may drink less water in the winter, which can lead to dehydration. Ensure they always have access to fresh water. Consider wet food as it can help with hydration.
5) Check the heating source: Make sure there are no dangerous heating sources (like space heaters) that could burn or harm your cat. Cats sometimes like to curl up near heat sources, so keep them safe and monitored.
6) Outdoor shelters for outdoor cats: If your cat lives outside, provide a sheltered area to protect them from the wind and rain. A small, insulated shelter with straw bedding is ideal for keeping them warm.
7) Watch for signs of frostbite or hypothermia: If a cat spends time outdoors, check for signs of frostbite (e.g., pale or blue skin, cold to the touch) or hypothermia (e.g., shivering, lethargy). If you notice symptoms, warm them gently and seek veterinary care immediately.

By creating a safe and warm environment, you can help ensure that your cat remains comfortable and healthy during colder months.

If you're looking to keep your dog safe and comfortable during cold weather, here are some tips to help:

1. Protect Their Paws
Boots: Snow and ice can cause discomfort and potential injury. Consider using dog boots to protect their paws from salt, ice, and cold.
Paw Balm: If boots aren't an option, apply a paw balm or wax to keep their paws moisturized and protected.
2. Limit Outdoor Time
During extreme cold, try to keep outdoor play and walks short. Dogs can get frostbite or hypothermia if exposed for too long.
Watch for Signs of Cold Stress: If your dog starts lifting its paws, shivering, or acting anxious, it’s time to head inside.
3. Hydration
Cold weather doesn't mean your dog doesn’t need water. In fact, heated indoor air can dry out their skin. Ensure they always have fresh water available.
4. Monitor for Frostbite or Hypothermia
Signs of Frostbite: Check their ears, paws, and tail for signs of frostbite (pale or blue skin). If you see this, bring them indoors immediately and warm the area with your body heat.
Hypothermia: Symptoms include shivering, lethargy, and shallow breathing. If you suspect hypothermia, wrap your dog in blankets and get them to a vet as soon as possible.
5. Avoid Shoveling Salt
If you’re salting your driveway or sidewalks, be careful with where your dog walks. Salt can irritate their paws and even cause poisoning if they lick it off their feet.
6. Indoor Play
On very cold days, try to keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated with indoor games, puzzle toys, and training sessions. This will help prevent boredom and keep them happy.
By following these tips, you can help your dog stay safe and comfortable during the colder months!

🎄🐾 The holiday season is a time for giving, and we’ve got the perfect gift for your pets: good health! 🎁✨
During this busy time of year, it’s easy to forget about regular pet care. Be sure to:

Keep those holiday treats away from your pets (yes, even the leftovers!).
Check your pet’s routine—regular walks and playtime are a great way to keep them healthy and happy.
Make sure they have a cozy place to rest, especially if your house is full of visitors.

From all of us at ARPets Hospital, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your pet’s health journey this year. We’re looking forward to serving you and your pets in 2025!
