Limit Time Outside
If you live in an area with particularly harsh winters, you need to bring your pets inside if possible. Move them to areas where they can be sheltered from the cold.

Eliminate Obstacles
If you need to have your dog or other pets outside, make sure they have easy access to food and non-frozen water.

Wipe Your Dog’s Paws
If you take your dog for walks in the wintertime, one good pet care tip is to wipe its paws when you’re done. Paws can soak up antifreeze, salt, and other chemicals.

Avoid Ice
If you’re walking a dog, take care to avoid having them walk on frozen ponds or lakes. If the ice breaks, your furry friend could be seriously hurt or even killed.

Be Visible
Because of Daylight Savings, the sun sets a lot earlier in the day. An important pet care tip to remember if you’re walking a dog is to wear reflective clothing so you and your dog are easily seen.

Prepare
Winter can bring some extreme weather that causes lots of damage. It’s therefore important to have an emergency plan for you and your pets. Make sure you have an emergency kit that includes essentials for you and your pooch.

Speak Up
If you see a pet left in the cold, express your concern to the owner. Even though pet owners may love their pets, they may be genuinely unaware of the risks winter weather poses.

Take Care With Antifreeze
Antifreeze can attract dogs and cats because it’s sweet. But it’s also poisonous, so be sure to clean up any spills if you’re filling your vehicle.

Pay Attention
If your dog is outside in the wintertime, know its limits. Some dogs are more susceptible to cold than others and you don’t want your dog suffering from frostbite or hypothermia.

Leave Pets at Home
If you’re running errands, only take your pets if necessary. They’re just as susceptible to cold as they are to summer heat, so use caution.

With these tips in mind, you can sure your pet stays healthy and well during the winter. Remember to have fun and think safety first!

In many respects, a lot of these characteristics (with the exception of the wagging tails) are very similar to those of a baby – something else that triggers us to feel a bit mushy inside. In fact, some research has even shown that if we look at a picture of a baby and a picture of a puppy, our brains respond in the same way, flooding our body with feelgood chemicals.
