Cold Weather Tips

Please read the tips below to make sure your furry friend stays happy and safe when the temperature plunges outside.

Keep me inside!

Please keep your pet indoors so he doesn't get frost-bite or freeze to death. He also won't get lost or stolen.

I need a towel!

It's important to wipe off your pet's paws, legs, and stomach after he has been outside. His paws might bleed if snow or ice covers them. Salt and other chemicals might make him sick if he licks his paws, too.

Where's my coat?

It's a good idea to get your dog a special coat or sweater to keep him warm if he has short hair.

Don't leave me in the car!

Never leave your pet alone in a car in cold weather. A car is like a refrigerator and your pet can freeze to death in a few minutes!

Sweet, but deadly!

Cats love the sweet taste of anti-freeze from your car. A spilled, small drop is enough to seriously hurt or kill your pet!
