Winter has arrived for most of us. \u00a0Here in the Pacific Northwest, we even have snow! \u00a0Winter is a great time for snuggling with your pets by the fire, playing catch with snowballs and taking long walks down snowy lanes.<\/p>\n

If you take your dog on walks in snow and ice, it’s a good idea to wipe their paws off with a towel before they come in. \u00a0Not only with this help keep your floors clean, it will remove any ice chunks from their toes. \u00a0It also will help remove any rock salt<\/span> they might have picked up on their paws during their walk. \u00a0Rock salt is used on snow and ice to help keep us from slipping, but it can be irritating to sensitive paws. \u00a0If you have cats that go outdoors, their paws should be checked regularly too.<\/p>\n

Another winter hazard is antifreeze, which has a sweet smell and taste and is poisonous to your pets. \u00a0Try to keep your pets out of driveways and roadways where antifreeze can collect. \u00a0If your pet shows any signs<\/span> of poisoning (clumsiness, drunken behavior, vomiting, wobbling) call your vet immediately.<\/p>\n

This time of year, your pet may need some additional calories. \u00a0Animals who spend time outdoors need extra calories to help keep them warm. \u00a0Senior dogs and cats might need additional calories to help keep warm as the temperature drops. \u00a0Consider adding in some canned food or even some of our dehydrated food<\/a><\/strong><\/em> <\/span>to your pet’s regular diet.<\/p>\n

Enjoy this quiet time of winter. \u00a0 Teach your dog some new skills, like how to stand<\/span>.[youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wcPnuCeHxfA]<\/p>\n

This skill is great for winter, because you can ask your dog to stand while you towel him off. \u00a0Use your ‘shake’ or ‘paw’ command to have your dog hand you a paw for you to clean off. \u00a0Or if you have cats, why not try some\u00a0kitty training<\/span>?[youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O6wgbCmaD8o]<\/p>\n

Most of all, spend time with your animals. \u00a0We can’t think of much better than a cat purring in our ear and a dog snoozing in our lap while we drink a cup of hot chocolate and watch the snow fall. \u00a0Happy Winter everyone!<\/p>\n
