🐾 How to Keep Your Pets Safe in Bitter Cold Weather
With harsh winter temperatures here, local pet owners are being reminded that animals need special care just like people do. Experts recommend keeping pets indoors as much as possible, limiting the time they spend outside in freezing conditions, and protecting their paws from ice, salt and chemicals after walks. Also watch out for antifreeze and make sure pets always have access to unfrozen water and a warm place to rest.
