🥶It's getting cold out there🥶 We took some time today to ask some of our team some of their best advice for pet owners during this cold snap! Here is what they had to say:

-If it is too cold for you, it is too cold for them. Bring them inside. ~Rachel

-Don't leave a pet in a freezing cold car, and keep your pets indoors. ~Alyssa

-If you have horses, make sure to have a tank heater to keep their water thawed, preventing dehydration and further complications like Colic. ~Dr. Foust

-Protect and maintain their paws! ~Rosemary

-Blankets, bedding, etc. can all become wet with snow. Make sure especially if any of this is outside that it is being kept dry! ~Robin

-If your pet is holding up their paws, or chewing at the snow stuck between their toes, it is time to come inside. ~Delaney

- If you have active dogs like I do, the extreme cold can be tough to keep them from getting bored. My favorite way to combat that is indoor DIY enrichment treats! Something as simple as their favorite dog-friendly foods (we do pumpkin, plain yogurt, kibble, bananas and water) mixed together in a muffin tin - freeze for an hour or two and then let them enjoy a tasty puzzle treat that'll keep them busy for a little longer than usual treats! Scent-driven dogs might also enjoy kibble or favorite treats rolled and tied up in a towel for another fun indoor puzzle treat! ~Lara

-If you do have out door pets, make sure they have shelter that is dry and insulated, and to check their water regularly. ~Amanda

OREGON: Several of our friends have affected dogs, some fighting for their lives after visiting Oregon 2 weeks ago for our annual Golden National Specialty Show. Please keep your dogs away from other dogs for awhile.

To those of you showing in Orlando tomorrow, Central Florida Kennel Club is dedicating their show to Julian Prager.

Take a moment to honor him.

If you don't know who Julian was, he was the Chairman of the Board of the National Animal Interest Alliance, and a delegate to the AKC.

As a retired attorney, he dedicated his retirement years to supporting and protecting your rights as breeders and dog owners. He was a regulatory genius and is missed everyday by his colleagues and friends.

Julian was very kind with help when I called him before lobbying against anti-dog breeding/dog owning bills at hearings in Montana.
