With temperatures dropping below freezing, please make sure your pets are prepared along with yourselves.
1. Remember, if it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet, so keep your animals inside.
2. After each walk, make sure to wash and dry your pet's feet and stomach to remove ice, salt and chemicals.
3. Make sure your companion animal has a warm place to sleep, off the floor and away from all drafts.
4. Never let your dog off leash on snow or ice, especially during a snowstorm.
5. Thoroughly clean up any anti-freeze spills. Like coolant, antifreeze is a lethal for dogs and cats. Be sure to thoroughly clean up any spills from your vehicle, and consider using products that contain propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol. Additionally, cold weather chemicals like ice melts can be dangerous when ingested, so always be mindful and keep chemicals up and out of paws' reach.
