The Snow is Coming....Keep Your Pets Warm

Know your pet's limits if they have short hair probably should not have them out in the cold.

Check your auto engine compartment for critters looking for warmth.

Wipe your pets paws to get off any salt, antifreeze and/or deicer chemical.

Keep your pets on a leash so they don't get lost in the snow or fall through a icy pond.

Avoid the ice so you or your pets don't fall or go under icy ponds.

Leave them home!  Don't leave your pets in a cold car.

Winter Pet Woes

Its cold outside keep your pet warm by keeping them indoors.
Keep outside pets sheltered with warm bedding and a insulated shelter and access to unfrozen water.
Feed your pets some extra calories especially if they are outside a majority of the time.
Check paws, ears and tails daily to make sure no signs of frost bite.
If its a blizzard please just bring your pets inside or at the very lease a insulated barn of sorts.
Watch out for salt and other de-icers. If suspected always wash off immediately.
Check your car and make sure no stray animals are under or in your car.
If you have a short hair pet consider a doggy coat maybe?
Booties are always a good idea to avoid snow and ice incrusted paws.
Shovel snow and make paths for you and your pets.
Give your pet the gift of a warm place to sleep and lots of cuddles :)
