Here are some cold weather tips that can keep your pets safe:
The best way to keep your cat warm is to keep them inside. Cats who allowed outdoors in the winter can freeze, become lost or get injured. They can also be exposed to infectious diseases and could be attacked by other cats or dogs.
Antifreeze is very dangerous to your pets. If you should spill any antifreeze, thoroughly clean up the spill. You might consider using products that contain propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol.
Wipe off your dog's feet, legs and tummy after they have been playing outside or after a walk. They can come in contact with antifreeze, salt and other chemicals used on the sidewalks during the winter. Your pet could be in danger if they should come in contact with these substances and then lick their feet.
Make sure your pet has a nice warm place to sleep. A nice dog or cat bed with a warm pillow and away from drafts would be the best solution.
