As the winter storm approaches, we are sharing essential tips for pet safety. Keeping your pet safe during a winter storm requires careful consideration. Pets should be kept indoors during winter storms with outdoor time restricted to short, necessary bathroom breaks to prevent frostbite and hypothermia. It is also crucial to wipe paws clean of toxic salt and ice melt, use salt that is safe for pets, and check engines for cats looking for warmth. A slight increase in food intake for energy is recommended, along with ensuring constant access to water that will not freeze. If there are feral cats in your area, kindly provide them with extra food, water, and shelter to safeguard them during the severe weather conditions.

Our Tuesday pet care tip underscores the importance of recognizing signs of pain in pets.
Signs that your pet is in pain include shifts in behavior (aggression, withdrawal, restlessness), changes in activity (limping, reluctance to move or jump, lethargy), changes in habits (loss of appetite, changes in grooming or litter box use, panting), and physical indicators like a hunched back, tense muscles, or excessive licking of a specific spot; these signs often indicate discomfort and warrant a visit to the vet.

Fun Fact: Pet owners prioritize their pets' happiness and splurge on them during holidays. The amount spent on pet gifts during holidays is substantial, commonly ranging from $50 to over $100. This trend highlights the growing tendency to pamper pets like family, featuring gifts such as premium treats, interactive toys, and festive attire. Gen Z and Millennials tend to spend approximately $100 on each pet during the holiday season.

An important holiday tip: Gifting puppies and kittens for Christmas is generally discouraged due to the significant long-term commitment (10-15+ years) they require. This commitment entails substantial time, training, financial resources (veterinary care, food, etc.), and space, which can lead to the animal being returned to shelters after the holiday season, causing stress for both the recipient and the animal. Instead, consider involving the individual in the decision-making process and adoption, ensuring they are genuinely prepared for the responsibilities involved. Gifting adoption-related items, such as toys and a certificate for adoption fees after the holidays, is a more considerate option.

As temperatures drop significantly, safeguarding feral cats becomes a priority. Preparing for Winter: Essential Tips. To protect feral cats during the cold season, provide insulated shelters like plastic totes with straw bedding, guarantee constant access to unfrozen water using heated bowls, offer calorie-dense dry food, keep shelters elevated, and clear snow from entrances while inspecting under vehicles for warmth.

Please note that if the outdoor temperature is too cold for human tolerance, it is also too cold for pets. If they must stay outside, please provide proper shelter and ensure their water remains unfrozen.
