We are well into the winter weather season and I hope everyone's pets (and the Humans too) are doing well.
This is just a quick reminder that the cold weather can take it's toll on cats and dogs. Please do make arrangements for your pet to be warm and comfortable. The best scenario would be to allow them into the home, but this isn't always possible for many reasons.
Some of the cats, and the dogs, as well as the monkey we have around here have to stay outside, but they are provided with shelter from the wind, as well as access to a heated area. Now this is South Texas and we don't get the 20 below temps, but it does get cold enough at times to be a danger to them.
This is also a time to make sure the cats and dogs have plenty of quality food available. Food will provide the calories to burn, which in turn provides some warmth. If your pets are like ours they are much more active in the cooler weather, which will also impact their food needs.
A supply of fresh water is also a must, and in the colder climates where freezing is likely please check into a heated water dish.
That is it for these basic reminders. We will be updating this blog more frequently with fresh ideas for the Health, Care, and Training of our pet Cats and Dogs. Please Bookmark us, and check back often.
Till then,
