DOGS

• Keep your dogs inside, both during the day and night. Just because they have fur doesn’t mean they can withstand cold temperatures.
• When taking your pets out for a bathroom break, stay with them. If it’s too cold for you to stand outside, it is probably also too cold for your pets.
•  When walking your dogs during bad weather, keep them on leash. More dogs are lost during the winter than during any other season. 
• When you bathe your dogs in cold weather, make sure they are completely dry before taking them outside for a walk.

CATS/COMMUNITY CATS

• Always keep your indoor cats inside, especially in the winter months.
• Bring feral cats water frequently, since their water supply may be frozen.
• Create a DIY cat shelter using plastic totes, foam insulation, and straw. Watch the video HERE.
• Did you know cats often seek shelter inside cars for warmth? Before entering your car, bang loudly on the hood in case a cat has made shelter in your car. Starting your car with a cat inside the hood can severely injure them.
