We enjoy curling up in blankets with our favorite hot beverage by the fireplace or binge-watching the newest Netflix series during the chilly winter months. But sometimes our pets feel cold as well, and they are unable to communicate this to us in a way that we can comprehend. A sudden drop in temperature might make them tremble all night long and perhaps make them sick.
Here we’ve compiled these 5 essential tips to keep your pet safe, healthy, and warm this winter to ensure your beloved pet is just as comfortable as you are
Protect Your Pet from Extreme Cold
When it’s extremely cold out, your cat or dog will require more care. Since your pet’s paws are the only area of their body without fur to keep them warm, they should be given extra protection from the cold. It’s probably too chilly for your pet to be outside if they are lifting their paws up off the snow or ice. Extreme weather means that even cats who are accustomed to being outside should have a warm haven to retreat to when it becomes chilly (especially overnight).
Get All Their Winter Essentials to Keep Pets Warm This Winter
Wintertime automatically necessitates a pet sweater, dog jacket, and/or boots for both small and large breeds. The first two must be used to keep your pet comfortable and safe on winter walks, even if you decide against using boots. Add more cushions and blankets to their space to make it cozy and warm. Consider moving their sleeping spot if you have a fireplace or a warm room in your house to prevent them from getting the chills. Additionally, never leave your dog in the cold outdoors or in a car without the heater on. In the winter, your car becomes a freezer, and leaving your pet in a cold car can be dangerous.
