🚨STAY HOME, FOLKS! 🚨 Don’t get out if you don’t have to! Even just walking to my detached garage was scary, I can’t imagine having to drive somewhere right now 😱

When the ice stops and the snow starts, send us a message to get on the books for 🌟 FREE 🌟 snow shoveling! Sidewalk, driveway, or pet relief area, we want to help as much as we can during this state of emergency ❄️

Here at BCPP, we fully understand that some specific breeds really enjoy cold weather and snow! ❄️ HOWEVER! Did you know that freezing rain and freezing fog can be damaging, even to a Siberian Husky or Bernese Mountain Dog?? It’s always a good idea to bring your pets in til the ice stops and the snow falls! ⛄️

🐾 Did you know that you can also turn old totes, suitcases, or boxes into cold weather shelters for stray/feral cats?? Send us a message for more info on our Outdoor Cat-house template!

It’s crucial to get outdoor pets ready for the impending cold snap next week! Highs in the 30's and lows in the teens are coming!
BRING THEM INSIDE: The best option is to keep all pets indoors. However, if they must stay outside, ensure they have adequate protection from the harsh cold. Breeds like Huskies are equipped to handle winter thanks to their thick double coats, which provide insulation. On the other hand, dogs like Pit mixes, with their thinner coats and exposed undersides, are more susceptible to the cold and should either be brought inside or given insulated shelter. Puppies and older, frail, or sick dogs are particularly at risk in cold weather and require additional protection.
PROVIDE SHELTER: When temperatures drop below 45 degrees, having access to an insulated doghouse, garage, or shed can help keep your dog warm. Dogs that are used to living indoors or in milder climates should not be left outside during freezing conditions. Make sure the shelter is readily accessible, as you may not be home when the temperatures plummet.
INSULATE SHELTER: While a plastic or wooden doghouse can shield them from wind, it won't keep them warm without proper insulation. Use straw bedding—not hay—to insulate outdoor shelters. If you’re using straw to insulate a doghouse, it should be packed tightly along the sides and back. The dog should be able to burrow down into the straw for warmth. Bales of straw typically cost $10 or less at local feed stores and can fill 3-4 doghouses.

Winter is COMING, folks! 🥶 It’s already starting to get a little slick out there in town. I can only imagine what some highways are like 😱

🐾 During winter, when the snow blankets the ground, dog owners may find it tempting to let sleeping dogs lie – and not clean up after them when they do their business! Doggy-doo 💩 buried in the snow washes into the watershed with the spring snowmelt, polluting the waters with bacteria, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
