Cold Weather Safety





This has already been an exceptionally cold winter, and it’s important to make sure that your pet is warm and safe at all times. Never leave your pet outside for longer than they need to be out for a bathroom break or a walk. If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them! 

We also recommend washing your pet’s paws gently with warm water and mild soap to remove poisonous ice melt products and ice that has gotten stuck between the pads of your pet’s paws. 


If your pet has short hair or seems exceptionally shaken by the cold, it may be a good idea to get a comfortably-fitting jacket or sweater for when they go outside. If you have questions about keeping your pet warm and comfortable, we can help!
