I hope you've been enjoying the beautiful weather we have had this week! Since I know it can't last forever, I thought now would be a good time to begin a five week Saturday morning series of winter weather tips to keep our furry family members safe.
1. PREVENT accidental antifreeze ingestion
(antifreeze = ethylene glycol = lethal poison = rapid kidney failure = death)
*AVOID pet's exposure
*Store antifreeze out of reach
*Clean up spills immediately
*Repair any vehicle leaks immediately
*Use new antifreeze products containing propylene glycol (relatively non-toxic)
2. Puppies often cannot tolerate the cold as well as adult dogs and may be more difficult to potty-train during the winter. If it's snowy make sure you have a shoveled potty area so it's more comfortable for shorter legs. Remember, don't give up, consistency is key.
Look next Saturday for some more tips to help your keep your pets more comfortable this winter!
