How to Protect Pets in Winter

Keep your pets sheltered, keep your pets indoors with you and your family. Pet cats should not be left outside under any circumstances, even if they go out during other seasons. Dogs are happiest when they frequently go out for walks and exercise but stay indoors the rest of the time. Do not leave your pets outside when the temperature drops.

Eliminate common poisons, antifreeze is a deadly poison, but it has a sweet taste that can attract animals and children. Immediately wipe up any antifreeze spills and keep it, like all household chemicals, out of reach. Coolants and antifreezes based on propylene glycol are less toxic to pets, wildlife, and the family.
