❄️ Extreme Cold Weather Pet Safety Tips ❄️
When temperatures drop, our pets rely on us to keep them safe, warm, and comfortable. Here are a few important reminders to help protect your dogs and cats during extreme cold:
🐾 Limit Time Outdoors
Even dogs who love the snow can get cold quickly. Keep potty breaks short and watch for shivering or lifting paws — signs it’s time to head back inside.
🏠 Provide Warm, Cozy Shelter
Pets should stay indoors during extreme cold. Make sure they have a warm, draft-free place to rest with plenty of blankets or bedding.
💧 Check Food & Water Often
Cold weather increases calorie needs, and water can freeze quickly. Always make sure your pet has access to fresh, unfrozen water.
🧂 Protect Their Paws
Ice melt and salt can irritate paws and be toxic if licked. Wipe paws after walks and consider pet-safe ice melt at home.
🐕🦺 Bundle Up
Short-haired, senior, and small dogs may benefit from a coat or sweater when going outside.
🚗 Check Your Car
Cats sometimes seek warmth under car hoods in cold weather. A quick knock on the hood before starting your car can save a life.
❤️ Watch for Signs of Cold Stress
Shivering, lethargy, whining, or lifting paws are signs your pet is too cold and needs to warm up immediately.
