It’s cold. With winter upon us, we should keep in mind the health and safety of our pets.
Keep walks short.
Things to look out for on your walk: If your pet starts holding up one of its paws, go back inside. Salt and other chemicals to melt ice can irritate a pet’s paws.
Keep them bundled.
All breeds are susceptible to cold weather, so put them in sweaters, coats, and/or booties to keep them warm.
Keep their zoomies zooming.
Since they can’t go outside as much to burn energy, find ways to do so indoors.
