This cold snap may be short, but better to know what you can do ahead of time.
BE PREPARED:
• Talk to your veterinarian about your pet’s risks in cold
weather
• Have an emergency kit that includes your pet’s needs in case
of severe weather or prolonged power outage
• If your dog has a short coat or seems bothered by cold,
consider a sweater or dog coat
• Consider booties for your dog’s feet; make sure they fit!
• Ensure outdoor pets have insulated shelter and unfrozen
drinking water. In extreme cold, even outdoor pets should
stay inside
KNOW YOUR PET’S LIMITS:
• Know your pet’s tolerance for the cold; adjust accordingly
• Shorten walks in very cold weather
• Contact your veterinarian if your pet is shivering or
extremely lethargic after being out in the cold
AVOID INJURY/POISONING:
• Check under your car, bang the hood, and honk the horn
before starting the engine
• Clean up any antifreeze spills quickly
• Stay away from frozen ponds, lakes and streams
• Only take your pet in the car when absolutely necessary.
Never leave your pet unattended in a vehicle
• Check your dog’s paws frequently for signs of irritation or
injury
