how to keep your pets warm this winter

With cooler weather still upon us, it's important to know how to care for your pet and keep them safe and warm. Here are a few tips to keep your furry friend cozy this season.

Set up a warm space

Add a few blankets to your pet's sleeping area and make sure they are in a place that is away from drafts, windows, doors, and other chilly spots in the house.

Put a sweater on them

If you're shivering, chances are your pet is as well. You can put a sweater or jacket on them. And, if you don't have pet clothing, you can make one from an old t-shirt or other item of your own clothing.

Warm up their food and water

Serving your pet fresh, warm food and room-temperature water is the ideal way to keep them warm during mealtime.

Take care of their paws

Make sure to inspect their paws for cracking. If you see any signs of pain or cracking, get in touch with your vet and consult about using paw balm.

Go for shorter walks

Walking outside in the cold weather can be chilly. Shorten your walks when the temperature drops, and get in other forms of exercise indoors.

We hope you keep these tips in mind every time you shiver from the cold! Your pet will thank you!
