Cold Weather Alert

Be aware that if it is too cold for you to be outside for long periods of time, then it is too cold for your pets to be out in the weather.

According to a veterinarian, pets that have a sturdy dog house and stay outside should have fresh straw rather than a blanket to lay on.

Blankets get wet and will freeze and this is not good for your dog.

Fresh food and water is also a necessity. Check on your pets often.
