Servicing all of your small engine needs
As the winter months approach, you
need to make time to ensure that your
pets enjoy a happy, healthy winter season.

HOUSING:
If your pets need to be
outdoors for long periods of time
their home should be elevated off
the ground to prevent moisture accu-
mulation and have a door to keep
out the winter winds, sleet and snow.
Shelters should be insulated or heat-
ed. Water sources may be heated to
permit constant access to unfrozen
water. Thermal units specifically for
this purpose are readily available. In
severely cold or inclement weather,
no pet should be kept outside for
long periods of time. Outdoor pets
require extra calories to keep warm.
Feed your pet according to its needs
when the temperature drops. Indoor
pets should have sleeping quarters in
a draft-free, warm area with their
bed or mattress elevated slightly off
the floor.
ROAMING CATS:
Roaming cats, as
well as house pets and wildlife, may
climb onto vehicle engines for
warmth during cold weather. Be sure
to check under the hood before
starting your vehicle and honk your
horn to startle any animals seeking
shelter inside.
WINTER PAW CARE:
Snow and
other snow/ice melters should be
removed from your pet paws imme-
diately. Frostbitten skin is red or gray
and may slough. Apply warm, moist
towels to thaw out frostbitten areas
slowly until the skin appears flushed.
Contact your veterinarian as soon as
possible for further care. Salt and
other chemical ice melters should be
stored out of reach of pets and small
children.
ANTIFREEZE, TASTY BUT DEADLY:
(
ethylene glycol) is palatable enough
for animals to drink in quantity, (very
sweet tasting) but toxic. Be careful
when out with your pet to watch he
or she does not drink it. Discourage
your pet from lapping up any liquid
from curb & street. Ingestion of
antifreeze causes ataxia, depression,
coma, vomiting and possible com-
plete renal failure. Call your veteri-
narian as soon as possible if you
believe your pet has ingested some.
As always check with your regular
veterinary if you have any questions
or issues.
