Winter Pet Care

The Importance of Winter Care

Pets need special care during winter months. Cold weather, humidity, and changing routines can lead to health problems.

Temperature Control

Your pet's living area should be at an appropriate temperature. Make sure bedding areas are away from cold floors.

Nutrition Changes

Some animals may need more calories during winter months. Review the nutrition program with your veterinarian.

Exercise

Regular exercise is important even in cold weather. Take short but frequent walks and watch for frostbite signs in your pet.

Paw Care

Snow and ice can irritate paws. Clean paws after walks and use protective cream if necessary.
