Winter weather can be tough on our furry family. Make sure they stay safe in the cold!
• Bring pets indoors when temperatures drop. If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them.
• Limit outdoor time, especially for young, elderly, or small pets.
• Wipe paws after walks to remove ice, salt, and chemicals that can irritate their skin.
• Provide extra bedding and a warm, draft-free spot to rest.
• Check water bowls often — water can freeze quickly outside.
• Never leave pets in vehicles during cold weather.
• If pets must be outside briefly, ensure they have shelter, insulation, and fresh water.
A little extra care helps keep your pets safe and comfortable all winter long.
