Hazards For Pets During Winter

Just because your pet has their very own fur coat does not mean that they are protected from frostbite or hypothermia.  All our pets need protection from the harsh cold elements of winter.  Our older, smaller, and thin coated pets especially need protection from the cold; maybe snow boots and a dog jacket or sweater.  Insulated dog houses, warm bedding, and water bowls that don't freeze are a must have for those pets who spend most of their time outdoors.  You should always bring your pets indoors whenever near or below freezing temperatures occur; it's the humane thing to do.
