Parts of the country are currently experiencing a cold snap, and too much time in the cold can be dangerous for animals. Dr. Anne Cohen from MedVet Chicago shares the top cold safety tips you should consider if you’re heading outside with your furry companion:
*Protect their paws when outside, as they can get easily irritated from snow and ice-melting chemicals.
*Limit snow consumption, as it can conceal something your pet shouldn’t be eating.
*Keep your pet in a securely fenced yard, or on a leash, since snow can cover familiar scents and sights your pet would normally use to find their way back home.
