This time of year, it seems like everyone is concerned with warding off illness and staying healthy – but we\u2019re not the only ones in need of a little extra TLC. Pets also benefit from our <\/span>vigilance and protection<\/span><\/a> during these damp, chilly months. With our winter pet safety tips, you can avoid certain <\/span>seasonal risks<\/span><\/a> and keep your companion happy and healthy throughout the new year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Decisions<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Low temperatures are probably the most common concern for pet owners. A good rule of thumb: if it\u2019s too cold out for you, it\u2019s too cold out for your pet. However, some pets actually enjoy the cooler weather and beg to be let outside; usually, they won\u2019t come back in for extended periods of time. As long as they have access to dry, insulating shelter and plenty of fresh water, they\u2019ll be much better off. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Near freezing temperatures and wet, gusty winds should prompt a pet\u2019s quick entry into a warm house. Be sure to dry their coat thoroughly, wash and wipe their paws, and ensure they have a cozy, draft-free place to snuggle up for the night.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Matters<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This time of year, it\u2019s typically cold and wet outside and warm and dry inside. This fluctuation can end up causing skin irritation. In addition to dry, flaky skin, pets can easily become dehydrated during the winter months. Make sure the water in their bowl isn\u2019t too cold to drink, and replenish it daily.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Forget Those Calories!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Slight adjustments to your pet\u2019s diet may be in order during the winter. For pets who have difficulty regulating body temperature (e.g., younger pets, ill pets, and aging or senior pets), adding a few more calories to their meal can help. Likewise, pets who aren\u2019t interested in going outside may need a reduction in their diet to avoid gaining winter weight. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, before changing <\/span>your pet’s diet<\/span><\/a>, we urge you to speak with us. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What About Exercise?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Winter is no time to be a slouch, and keeping up with exercise is key to winter pet safety. Provide your pet with rain gear, a sweater, and\/or booties to keep them warm and dry. Be mindful of antifreeze, which can wind up in drainage puddles, and salt or deicers that can stick to your pet\u2019s paws. If it\u2019s too chilly to be outside, add a few training sessions to the schedule, establish an indoor agility course, or simply play with your pet inside.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter Pet Safety<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stray cats and those who stay out too late are known to curl up under the hood of a car to nap. The engine block provides warmth and keeps them completely protected from the weather and other cats\/predators. To prevent <\/span>serious injury<\/span><\/a> to hiding cats, be sure to rap loudly on the hood of your car before turning the key. If your cat is a night owl, it\u2019s best to try and prevent them from darting out after a certain hour. Always be sure to call them indoors before going to bed for the night.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, check that your pet is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and wearing ID tags. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
