Attention, Pet Owners! 🐾

A cold front is approaching Decatur and the greater North Texas area this week, bringing significantly lower temperatures. It’s essential to ensure your pets remain safe and comfortable during this chilly period.

Upcoming Weather Forecast:
• Monday, February 17: High of 54°F (12°C), low of 42°F (6°C).
• Tuesday, February 18: High of 45°F (7°C), low of 10°F (-12°C); expect colder conditions with rain and breezy afternoons.
• Wednesday, February 19: High of 27°F (-3°C), low of 7°F (-14°C); breezy and quite cold with plenty of sunshine.
• Thursday, February 20: High of 31°F (-1°C), low of 19°F (-7°C); mostly cloudy and very cold.

Pet Care Tips for Cold Weather:
1. Keep Pets Indoors: Whenever possible, keep your pets inside to protect them from the cold. If they must be outdoors, ensure they have access to a warm, dry shelter away from drafts.
2. Provide Warm Bedding: Ensure your pet’s sleeping area is cozy and insulated. Use blankets or pet beds to keep them off cold floors.
3. Limit Outdoor Time: Short-haired, young, elderly, or small breed dogs are more susceptible to cold. Limit their time outside, especially during the coldest parts of the day.
4. Watch for Signs of Discomfort: Shivering, reluctance to move, or whining can indicate your pet is too cold. If you notice these signs, bring them indoors promptly.
5. Protect Their Paws: Cold surfaces can harm your pet’s paws. Consider using pet booties or applying pet-safe balms to protect their pads.
6. Adjust Food Intake: Some pets may require more calories in colder weather to maintain body heat, while others may be less active and need fewer. Consult with your veterinarian about appropriate dietary adjustments.
7. Stay Up-to-Date with Vaccinations: Cold weather can weaken your pet’s immune system. Ensure their vaccinations are current to protect against seasonal illnesses.
