❄️ Seasonal Safety Tips Winter ☀️
Winter:
- Limit time outside in extreme cold
- Wipe paws after walks (salt can be harmful)
- If using ice melt on walkways, driveway, or anywhere your pet walks, use a pet safe brand.
- Provide warm, cozy sleeping areas
- Avoid walking during peak heat hours
- Test pavement with your hand; if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for paw pads. Walk on grass when possible.
- Always provide shade and plenty of water
- NEVER leave pets in a parked car
- Watch for signs of heatstroke: Symptoms include, but not limited to, heavy panting, drooling, lethargy, and vomiting. If suspected, move to a cool area and use cool water (not cold). Immediately call your veterinarian.
