*Winter Safety Tips For Your Pets*

Cats and dogs can and do feel the cold, just as humans do, and hypothermia
is a very real danger to them. To keep your furry friends warm, safe, and
healthy this winter, here are some tips:

·       Keep your pets indoors in the winter when you’re not home.

·       If pet water bowls are outdoors, check them frequently to make sure
the water has not frozen.

·       Don’t leave animals in closed cars in the winter. A car can become
dangerously cold and can be just as deadly to an animal as in the summer.

·       Keep anti-freeze away from children and animals! Anti-freeze has a
sweet taste that can attract them, and ethylene glycol is extremely
poisonous.

·       If your pet has walked on salted or de-iced surfaces, clean them
immediately with warm water and don’t let them lick their paws. These
substances are toxic to animals.

·       Check your pet’s paws frequently for balls of ice or snow that can
form there. Rinse with warm water to remove.

·       Pets that are outdoors often seek warmth and protection on or near
a car’s engine. Bang on your car hood or honk the horn before starting the
engine.

·       If your pet must be outdoors, insulate his or her bed with straw,
and switch it out if it becomes damp.
