Cold Weather Tips from ALL PETS RADIO

* Dogs can get frostbite or hypothermia when temperatures drop. Don’t leave your dog outside in the cold for long periods of time. Provide a covered shelter, such as a doghouse or kennel, for the times the dog is out of doors.
* Don’t leave your dog alone in a car on cold days.
* Provide plenty of fresh water at all times. Dogs are just as likely to get dehydrated in winter as in summer. Snow is not a good substitute for water.
* Rock salt, used to melt ice on sidewalks, can irritate paw pads. Rinse and dry your dog’s feet after a walk.
* Watch out for spilled antifreeze on driveways. Antifreeze smells and tastes good to dogs, but it can be lethal.
