Winter can be a magical time of the year, but when it's cold outside we need to take extra precautions to keep our pets safe and comfortable! Here are some tips to keep your pet warm and cozy during these chilly months:

❄ Be aware of your pet's cold tolerance and adjust accordingly. Some pets can handle cold weather better than others.

❄ Bundle up your pet for outdoor walks, even if it's a short walk!

❄ Provide outdoor pets adequate shelter with a warm place to sleep.

❄ Wipe paws and in-between paw pads to remove rock salt and/or chemicals used for de-icer. This can be harmful or irritating to the skin and could be poisonous if ingested.

❄ Feed your pet a healthy diet. Pets who are primarily indoors don't need extra calories for the winter.

❄ Check for outdoor/stray cats underneath vehicles and car hoods before starting your car. They may be staying there for warmth.

❄ Keep a pet emergency kit on hand and stocked for possible inclement weather. than other

If your pet has had surgery with us, you might have noticed on your invoice "Post-Op Hugs and Kisses X 100 at $0. If you are wondering what that is, here is Jordan, one of our Veterinary Assistant's giving hugs and kisses to Buddy. Buddy had surgery about 2 weeks ago with Dr. Kingus and is doing great!

It's crucial to get outdoor pets ready for the impending cold snap next week! Highs in the 20's and lows in the teens are coming!
❄BRING THEM INSIDE: The best option is to keep all pets indoors. However, if they must stay outside, ensure they have adequate protection from the harsh cold. Breeds like Huskies are equipped to handle winter thanks to their thick double coats, which provide insulation. Dogs like Pitbull's, with their thinner coats and exposed undersides, are more susceptible to the cold. They should either be brought inside or given insulated shelter. Puppies and older, frail, or sick dogs are particularly at risk in cold weather and require additional protection.
❄PROVIDE SHELTER: When temperatures drop below 45 degrees, having access to an insulated doghouse, garage, or shed can help keep your dog warm. Dogs that are used to living indoors or in milder climates should not be left outside during freezing conditions. Make sure the shelter is readily accessible, as you may not be home when the temperatures plummet.
❄INSULATE SHELTER: While a plastic or wooden doghouse can shield them from wind, it won't provide warmth without proper insulation. Use straw bedding -not hay- to insulate outdoor shelters. If you're using straw to insulate a doghouse, it should be packed tightly along the sides and back. The dog should be able to burrow down into the straw for warmth. Bales of straw typically cost $5 or less from local farmers and can fill 1 - 2 doghouses.

Happy Holidays from Kailani! She is dressed for the season and ready for hikes in cold weather - She belongs to Lily who lives in Colorado and works here when she is back home for break. Let’s see your pet’s attire for the winter weather!

**BEWARE: GRAPHIC VIDEO** “JoJo” is an approximately 6mo, female domestic longhaired cat. She had a rough start in life but her luck changed when, as a tiny kitten, she was found on a rainy day in the woods curled up in a small, unmoving little ball. Unsure if the kitten would survive the night, she was taken in by her new owners and nursed back to relative health. However, when she became more healthy, her owners noticed she was putting on weight slowly and had profuse nasal discharge, so they brought her into Frey. When the nasal discharge did not resolve after a course of antibiotics, Dr. Kingus suspected that she had a polyp in her oronasal cavity, impeding her breathing and preventing her from eating as vigorously as she could be. The owners scheduled an appointment with Dr. Ayers for an anesthetized oral exam. Upon opening her mouth, it was *clear* to the anesthetist that she had something extremely large above her soft palate in her oronasal cavity, making it difficult to place a tube in her airway (which is standard practice). Upon follow-up phone conversation post procedure, her owners report that “JoJo” is a completely different cat. Playful, rambunctious and even began waking her humans in the middle of the night with her antics. Because of the suspected size of the polyp, the anesthetist recorded the removal of the polyp, which we have included in this post. **BEWARE: GRAPHIC VIDEO** (posted with owner consent)
