Take Extra Precautions for Pets in Cold Weather
While some pets can't get enough of the snow, others would rather avoid it. Either way, be aware of your pet's tolerance for cold weather and adjust accordingly. During extreme cold snaps, consider keeping pets indoors or shortening walks while watching for signs such as:
- Lifting their feet high off of the ground
- Licking feet (ice building up on the pads of their feet)
- Shivering
- Shaking
- Whining
- Appearing anxious
- Slowing down or stopping often
- Tucking feet under their body
- Curling up in a tight ball with their tail over them
