Winter Pet Safety Tips

Our wonderful volunteer Jus put together a great list of top tips to keep your pets healthy and happy during the winter and holiday season. She includes helpful links to other great resources as well.

    1. Have a pet care provider for your holiday travel or in case you aren’t able to make it home due to the weather.
      • A reputable, safe and efficient way to find a pet sitter
      • Things to consider when hiring a pet care provider
    2. Make sure to have extra pet supplies on hand in the event of a snowstorm and you’re unable to go out.
      • Winter Pet Emergency Kit
    3. Know your dogs limits based upon their breed, size and age.
      • How cold is too cold
    4. Use proper gear on your pup (i.e. booties, jacket, etc.) to avoid too much exposure to the winter elements.
      • Which dogs need coatsBHS_Wu
    5. Clean up any antifreeze spills on your driveway or garage to avoid your pets consuming it and getting sick.
      • How to keep dogs safe from antifreeze
    6. Holiday plants can be dangerous and/or toxic to your pets.
      • List of toxic plants
    7. Be aware of your surroundings (i.e. depths of snow, ice, covered trees, etc.).
    8. Be mindful that the snow covers up normal scents, if a dog were to get lost, it would be hard to find his/her way back home so leashing up while outside is a good idea! Also make sure they have proper i.d./micro-chipped!
