Pets, just like people need to get ready for the cold weather. Use these tips to help your pet through the season change.
Pets that spend a lot of time outdoors may need extra calories to stay warm. More food or a change in diet may be necessary. You should talk to your vet and come up with an eating plan for your pet.
-Cats and dogs shed their summer coats in the fall before they build their winter coats. Help your pet with this process by brushing it regularly and removing excess fur.
-Halloween candy, particularly chocolate, can be deadly to your pet. Be sure to keep candy tucked away in a place that your pet cannot get to.
-Take your pet in for a winter check-up with your vet to make sure they are going into the cold season healthy.
-Short coat breed dogs may need extra protection from the cold weather and wind. A sweater or a sweatshirt will help keep them warm, as not all breeds are meant for cold weather.
