Pets need extra care in cold weather
By admin Filed Under: Human Interest, News
With the bitter-cold temperatures this week comes a reminder from the American Veterinary Medical Association to make sure your pets are protected:
- Protect your pet’s feet in the winter. Ice and the icy crust that can form on top of snow can cause cuts and abrasions to paws.
- Watch pets around frozen lakes and rivers and slippery staircases, which pose risks for injuries.
- Be careful before starting your car. Cats and other animals often climb on top of car engines for warmth.
- Make sure a pet’s outdoor housing is warm enough for the most bitterly cold months
- Keep your pet healthy and active during the cold weather.
