    Winter Care Tips for Your Pets

    -Cats and dogs need protection from the wet and cold.  Inside your house is the best place for them to be.

    -A bowl of frozen water can't help a thirsty pet.

    -Outdoor animals need more calories during the winter to produce body heat, so increase the amount you feed your pet.

    -Chemicals used to melt snow can irritate your pet's paws.

    -Antifreeze tastes good to pets, but is a deadly poison.
