๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐: If it's too cold for you, it's too cold for them. Shorten walks and outdoor playtime when temperatures plummet.

๐๐ข๐ฉ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ฐ๐ฌ: Ice, salt, and antifreeze can be harmful to your petโs paws. Wipe their paws after walks to prevent irritation or ingestion.
๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐: Make sure your pet has a warm, draft-free place to rest indoors. Extra blankets and a comfy bed go a long way!
๐๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ซ๐๐๐ณ๐: Antifreeze is toxic! Clean up any spills immediately and keep it out of reach.
๐๐ก๐๐๐ค ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐ซ: Cats and small animals may seek shelter under cars. Tap on your hood before starting your vehicle.

Keeping your pets safe and warm this winter is essential. If you see an animal left outside in the cold, contact local authorities for help. Stay safe and snuggly, everyone!
