❄️ COLD WEATHER SAFETY TIPS FOR PETS ❄️

When temperatures drop, a few simple precautions can keep your furry friends safe, warm, and happy!

🐾 Watch out for antifreeze
Antifreeze has a sweet taste that attracts pets—but even tiny amounts can be deadly. Clean up spills right away and consider using propylene glycol–based antifreeze, which is less toxic to animals.

🐾 Bring pets indoors
It’s a myth that pets are fine outside in winter. Dogs and cats are safest and happiest indoors, only going out briefly for supervised exercise. Cold weather can quickly cause hypothermia and frostbite—especially on ears and tails.
