                                          BRRRRR!  It's Cold Outside!  
                                          It is that time of year again.  The days are getting shorter, darker, and colder.  During this season please remember your animals.  Even a short exposure time can be dangerous to your pet.  For those animals living outside, now would be the time to bring them inside with their family.  For those animals that will remain outdoors please remember the following:

                                          1. Make sure there is a structure where the animal can take refuge.  It should be size appropriate and have four complete sides with a roof and floor.  A dog house or cat box that is too big will not hold the heat given off by the animal making it difficult to stay warm.  The door should have a plastic or rubber flap covering it to keep out the wind. 
                                          *Shelters for your CAT or DOG*

                                          2.  Increase your animal's food intake.  Make sure they are receiving 20-30% more food during the cold months.  The extra calories will help them to stay warm.
                                          3. Straw is a great natural insulator and will help your animal to regulate its body temperature.  Never give your pet blankets or bedding as they get wet and freeze into sheets of ice, doing more harm than good.  Use straw, not hay.  Hay will mold.  





                                          4. Water freezes.  Make sure to always use deep plastic bowls or heated bowls.  Never use metal bowls as they will freeze quickly.  Be sure to check the animal's water twice daily.
