With many of my friends in the north east and beyond, I wanted to share some tips for the winter season.
1) Watch where you walk! The salt that is put down to melt the snow and ice can sting your dog's paws. It is also very corrosive to metal and can cause electrical wires to become exposed and combine that with snow and your pet and you can get an electrical shock.
2) Never leave your pet in a car unattended. Just like in the summer when the car heats up, it can act like a refrigerator and your pet could freeze.
3) When you walk in the snow or ice, make sure you dry your dogs paws carefully with a washcloth.
4) Don't tie up a dog and leave them outside. It's not only unsafe for them but dog's are prone to cold, just like people.
