Cold Weather Safety Tips for Pets
With the weather getting
colder, windier, and po-
tentially snowy, Greenhill
Humane Society wants to
encourage pet families to
take extra precaution before
heading out on adventures.
Dry, cold air, chilly rain,
sleet, and snow can cause
chapped paws, itchy skin,
and other discomforts to
your pet.
“The Willamette valley
will be experiencing severe
winter weather, so it is im-
portant that we make sure
our pets are warm and safe
in the extreme cold and
snow,” said Megan Brezovar,
Greenhill’s Engagement &
Humane Education Manag-
er. “One easy way to make
sure your pets feel warm
and comfortable is to limit
their time in the harsh ele-
ments and make sure their
bodies and paws are dry
after romping in the snow.
Giving outside cats indoor
access will help protect
them from freezing tem-
peratures.”
Follow the tips below to
ensure your pets are enjoy-
ing their outside adventures
this winter:
• Remember, if it’s too
cold for you, it’s cold for
your pet, so keep your an-
imals inside. Pets who are
unaccustomed to being out
in the cold can freeze, be-
come disoriented, lost, sto-
len, injured or harmed.
• Towel dry your pet as
soon as they come inside,
paying special attention to
their feet and in-between
the toes. Remove any snow
from between their foot
pads.
• Never shave your dog
down to the skin in winter,
as a longer coat will provide
more warmth. If your dog is
short-haired, consider get-
coverage and warmth and
can also prevent ice and
salt from getting lodged be-
tween bare toes and causing
irritation.
• Pets burn extra energy
by trying to stay warm in
wintertime. Pets who spend
a lot of time outdoors may
need to be fed more during
the cold weather months.
• Make sure your com-
panion animal has a warm
place to sleep, off the floor
and away from all drafts. A
cozy dog or cat bed with a
warm blanket or pillow is
perfect.
