We are seeing some COLD weather. Here are a few reminders:
Keep pets sheltered. If pets are outdoors provide an enclosed space to preserve body heat. Provide food and water. If possible a warming plate
Bundle up, Wipe Down No matter what the temperature is, windchill can threaten a pet's life. Exposed skin on noses, ears and paw pads are at risk for frostbite and hypothermia during extreme cold snaps. For this reason, short-haired dogs often feel more comfortable wearing a sweater—even during short walks.
Rock salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irritate the pads of your pet's feet. Wipe all paws with a damp towel before your pet licks them and irritates their mouth.
