Cold weather can be tough on pets, especially seniors, puppies, and animals with short coats. Limit outdoor time during extreme temperatures and make sure they have a warm, dry place to rest indoors.

Ice, salt, and cold pavement can irritate or burn paw pads. Wipe paws after walks and use pet-friendly ice melt around your home to prevent injuries or accidental ingestion. Protective booties can also help keep paws comfortable.

A few small precautions can make winter safer and more comfortable for every pet. ❄️🐾
