Keeping Your Pets Safe from Snow in 3 Easy Steps
Winter can be tough on pets, especially when snow, ice, and chemical de-icers pose a threat to their health. Cold weather and traditional ice melts can cause paw irritation, dry skin, and even toxicity if ingested. Here are three simple ways to keep your pet safe from winter hazards:
Step-1 Keep Them Inside
Cold weather outside– Pets are extremely sensitive to wind chills, even if the temperature is above the freezing point. They can get hypothermia and frostbite – the common winter dog injuries during winters.
Hypothermia is a condition when the body temperature falls considerably. Its symptoms are- paleness of skin, shivering, and listlessness to the point of lethargy.
Dogs and cats can also suffer from frostbites on delicate body parts like earflaps, tail tip, and in between the toes.
Sharp-edged ice and chemical-based ice melts outside– The sharp edges of ice particles outside and the chemical-based ice melts can cause winter paw injuries in pets. Burning sensation, cracks, and cut on the paw pad and broken nails are common consequences.
Therefore, it is advisable to keep them inside. Pets should not be left outside in freezing temperatures for more than 30 minutes.
