Keep Your Dog Warm

• Don't leave dogs outdoors when the temperature drops. Short-coated dogs may feel more comfortable wearing a sweater during walks.
• Pets who spend a lot of time outdoors need more food in the winter because keeping warm depletes energy.
• Routinely check your pet's water dish to make certain the water is fresh and unfrozen.
• Use plastic food and water bowls rather than metal; when the temperature is low, your pet's tongue can stick and freeze to metal.
