HSGD advise pet owners to follow these five tips to keep pets safe and warm in cold weather.
- Keep fresh, clean (unfrozen) water available at all times in a plastic bowl, not metal;
- Provide elevated shelter to protect from drafts and freezing ground temperatures;
- Feed outdoor animals more to add body fat;
- Check paws for frostbite damage and remove de-icer and salt before animals can lick them off;
- Keep pets away from sweet-smelling antifreeze, which can be deadly.
