Snow’s Coming This Friday, January 10th! ❄️🐾 Tips to Keep Your Pets Safe
As we gear up for snowy weather this Friday, it’s important to prepare for your pets’ safety and comfort. Whether it’s a playful pup🐕 or a cozy cat, here’s how to keep them protected during the storm:
1: Limit Outdoor Time 🕒
While some pets love the snow, prolonged exposure can lead to frostbite or hypothermia. Short walks and playtimes are best.
2: Bundle Them Up 🧥
If your pet tolerates it, invest in a coat or sweater to keep them warm. Smaller or short-haired breeds especially benefit from the extra layer.
3: Protect Their Paws 🐾
Snow, ice, and salt can harm their paw pads. Use pet-friendly booties or apply paw balm for protection. Always wipe their paws after walks to remove salt or chemicals.
4: Provide Warm Shelter 🏠
If your pet spends time outside, ensure they have a dry, insulated shelter away from wind and snow. Indoors is best during extreme weather.
5: Hydration & Nutrition 🥣💧
Cold weather can dehydrate pets, so ensure they have fresh water at all times. Provide extra food if they’re more active to help maintain their energy.
6: Be Visible 🌟
Snowy days and early nights reduce visibility. Use reflective gear or light-up collars to keep your pet visible during walks.
7: Know the Signs of Hypothermia 🚨
Look out for shivering, lethargy, or pale gums, which could indicate your pet is too cold. If you notice these signs, bring them inside and consult your vet.
Enjoy the winter wonderland safely with your furry companions! 🐶🐾
