Below freezing, frigid temperatures and windchills are expected this week, including a chance of wintery precip. ❄️
If you don't take cold weather precautions, outdoor pets WILL suffer!

▪️ BRING THEM INSIDE: While it is the best practice to bring all pets inside, if they have to be outside, make sure they have the proper protection from the cold. Huskies and Pyrenees and other heavy coat breeds can tolerate winter conditions well because their thick double coats provide insulation for cold climates. Pit mixes, with thin coats and bare underbellies, shiver easily and need to be indoors or at the least provided insulated shelter. Puppies and elderly, frail or sick dogs are especially vulnerable to winter weather, and need extra protection.
▪️ PROVIDE SHELTER: Access to an insulated doghouse, garage or shed when temperatures drop below 45 degrees helps keep your dog warm. Dogs accustomed to indoor living or temperate climates should not be left outside in freezing temperatures. Make the shelter accessible. You may not be at home when temperatures drop below freezing.
▪️ INSULATE SHELTER: A plastic or wood doghouse can help protect them from the wind, but it doesn't help keep them warm. You need to insulate any outdoor shelter with straw bedding - not hay. If you are insulating a dog house with straw, it needs to be stuffed full - all along the sides and back. The dog needs to be able to burrow down inside of the straw. Bales are usually $10 or less at local feed stores and will stuff 3-4 doghouses. DO NOT USE BLANKETS OR CLOTH TO INSULATE A SHELTER. The fabric will absorb moisture from the air and will make the pet colder.

Thank you for being kind to animals! - BCAS staff
