🥶🐾🥶🐾Don’t let them go out alone, watch at the door. Their paws get too cold to get bank to the door!

Just a few tips for the winter weather during normal winter.

Definitely the next couple days only short trips outside to prevent hypothermia , trauma to paws and ears.

When temperatures drop or a wind chill warning is issued, pets must be brought indoors to a temperature-controlled environment. According to the county ordinance:
"Dogs must be brought into a temperature-controlled facility when the temperature constitutes a health hazard for that particular animal, or when a heat advisory, wind chill warning, or tornado warning has been issued by local, state, or national authority, except when the dog is in visual range of a competent adult who is outside with the dog."

❌ Neglecting these rules can result in fines starting at $250. Animal Control Officers will respond to complaints about pets left outside with improper shelter.

Let’s keep our furry friends safe this winter!

🚨 Important Update: Leptospirosis Now a Core Vaccine for ALL Dogs
The 2022 AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines have been updated to classify the leptospirosis vaccine as CORE for all dogs starting at 12 weeks of age – regardless of lifestyle, location, or breed.
Why the change?
🌆 ALL dogs are at risk—urban, suburban, and rural.
⚠️ Potentially fatal, even with treatment.
🔄 Zoonotic—it can spread from pets to humans.
🏢 Dogs in daycare and kennels also face exposure risks.
You can find the full update in the Nov/Dec issue of JAAHA, or check out the full 2022 Canine Vaccination Guidelines here: aaha.org/canine-vaccinations
