Winter pet care tips — Brrrrrrr!

As much as I hate to admit it, it's no longer summer.

That means cooler, and then colder, weather is on its way.

An article in the Norwich Bulletin outlines a veterinarian's top winter tips for pet owners.

They include:
  • Make sure your outdoor pet has plenty of fresh water. And don't allow it to freeze.
  • Wash pet's feet off after they come inside. Ice-melting products, when ingested, can cause stomach problems.
  • Honk your car horn before starting your car. Cats can seek shelter under the hood.
  • Antifreeze is lethal, even in small doses. Keep pets away from it.

Do they make something that you can keep water in outside without it freezing? My kitty could use something like this.

Do a search on the Enterwebs. I am sure you will come up with several choices.
