Extreme cold weather and your pets.

Here in Northeast Ohio we are having extremely cold weather.  As the temperature continues to drop, it’s important to ensure that your dog stays warm when going outside for potty and play.  Limiting the time a dog is out in freezing weather is very important.  Never leave a dog outside for more than necessary when going potty.  If your dog is one that enjoys running, rolling and hunting for things in the snow, watch them carefully and then call them in to warm up.  Sounds silly to think we need to put a stop on their outdoor fun, but they can get frostbitten just like we can.  

Putting a sweater or coat on them helps to keep their chest area warmer keeping the vital organs such as the lungs and heart covered will help.  Their feet most always gets packed snow between the toes, so be sure to check for snow and remove that when you bringing them into the house; helps to keep your floors dry too!  If your dog will wear booties thats  a plus!  

***If an animal is showing signs of frostbite or hypothermia, you should contact your veterinarian immediately.

If you use salt on your sideways, just know that the salt can sometimes burn their pads so check and clean them off.  There are paw safe salt products in stores. 

Letting your dog outside during windy snowstorms can be scary for both your pet and you.  Just hearing the wind blow and the snow swirling around them can be enough to scare them into a panic.  It's best to walk them on a leash especially at night to ensure they don't run off.  That would be VERY BAD! These are just some helpful things to keep your dog safe in the winter months.  Bundle up and keep warm!
