Cold Weather Tips for Pets

Cold Weather Tips for Pets

Keeping your pets safe during the winter season is always a top priority. The winter months are especially harsh in New York. Reaching out to a veterinarian in Brooklyn is always a good idea to ensure you are well-prepared for winter. Dr. Dendtler at Clinton Hill Animal Clinic has put together a few tips to help prepare your pets for the cold winter months.

1) Know Your Pet's Limits

One of the most important things to consider is how long your pets can stay outside before they need to come indoors. Short-coated, elderly, and thin dogs are more susceptible to colder weather compared to dogs with longer hair. Frostbite and hypothermia are always major risks in the winter months, as it is important to keep your pets safe and comfortable.

2) Keep Your Dog on a Leash

Another important tip is to always keep your dog on a leash while going on walks outside. Pets are much more likely to become lost in the winter, as the snow makes it difficult for dogs to recognize familiar scents that would help them find their way home. You will not have to worry about losing your dogs if you keep them on a leash.

3) Always Check Under the Car Hood

Cats often crawl into the engine of a vehicle to stay warm during the winter months. Taking the extra time to check under the hood is always important to avoid an accident. You can also bang loudly or honk the horn to ensure you don't have a cat sleeping beneath your vehicle’s hood.
