Brrrrr! It’s definitely getting cold outside!❄️
As temperatures drop, it’s vital to bring your pets inside to keep them safe and warm.
🐕 Limit Outdoor Time: Only let your pets outside as needed. Just like humans, dogs and cats are susceptible to hypothermia and frostbite, and can lead to serious injuries or illnesses. If you notice your dog shivering, moving slowly, or continuously lifting its paws off the ground, bring them inside immediately. If you own a working cat, ensure they have access to warm, dry, and safe shelter, and access to unfrozen water. All in all, bitter freezing temps are a great reason to cuddle with your furry friend inside!.
🐾 Protect Those Paws: Ice melt and frozen sidewalks can be harsh on sensitive paws. Consider using pet-safe paw balm or booties to prevent irritation.
💧 Stay Hydrated: With the heat cranking at high in our homes, ensure your pets have access to fresh water, as hydration is just as important in the winter!
📞 If you are concerned for an unattended pet outdoors, please call your local animal control.
Our pets rely on us to protect them, so let’s keep them safe and warm this weekend.
