Protecting Pets in Cold Weather

Cold weather can be harsh on pets, but there are several ways to protect them. Short-haired pets or small breeds are especially vulnerable to cold temperatures, so using a pet coat or sweater is advisable. Always keep walks short during freezing weather and use protective boots to shield your pet’s paws from ice and salt. Indoors, make sure your pet has a warm place to sleep, away from drafts. If your pet spends time outdoors, ensure they have access to shelter and fresh, unfrozen water. Never leave pets in a cold car, as temperatures can drop rapidly. By taking these precautions, you can protect your pet from the dangers of cold weather.
