Where your pets are family

Some good information for the arctic blast coming our way this weekend! Originally shared by Douglas County Sheriff's Office
As we brace for the arctic temperatures arriving this weekend, have you prepared your four-legged family members, too?
Douglas County Animal Services provides the following recommendations for Douglas County Pet Owners:
🐶 Limit the amount of time your pets spend outdoors and supervise them during the short intervals they are let outside for bathroom breaks.
🐩 Consider putting your dog in a coat/sweater and booties if your pet must be outside and is susceptible to getting cold (old pets, young pets, shorthaired pets).
🐕 Bring outdoor pets indoors!
🐾 Consider replacing walks during the cold spell with mental stimulation, such as puzzles, Kongs, and toys.
💦 Ensure you check your water sources for horses and break the ice periodically to allow freshwater access.
