As winter weather approaches, here are some great tips from the Michigan Humane Society on how to protect your pets during cold weather.
Here are some of our own tips too:
- Dry your pets off when they come in wet from rain or snow
- Keep pets hydrated
- Feed your pets (pets who have been outdoors may require more food to stay nourished)
- Check paws for cracked skin and ice build up
- Have a blizzard storm plan that includes your pets in place
- Locate a pet-friendly hotel in case you need to leave your home in an emergency
Remember, if it’s too cold for you outside, it’s too cold for your pet!
