As the weather starts to get colder, canines and felines start to get the chills just like humans. Here are some tips to help prepare your pet for the cooler months.
Although
many of us have lush fur and plush coats, it's not a perfect insulator when
it's very cold and especially if it is wet. Wearing suitable coats or winter hoodies
that offer pets cover are a good idea as well. Puppies and kittens should
generally be kept inside during very cold conditions and this also applies to
older and ill pets as well.
Offer shelter
If your pet usually ventures outdoors, then make sure they
have draft-free shelter from the elements to keep them warm at night or during
an outside potty break.
Get reflective
Walk
routines should continue during winter, but as evening walks turn into night
walks with shorter days, it's a good idea to wear reflective
clothing to make sure pets are seen.
Top up the essentials
Ensure your pet always has a supply of food and water during
cooler months and be sure to monitor them for any signs of illness from colder
weather.
