As snow sticks around Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky, there are a few tips to keep in mind so your pet can stay safe.
Officials recommend washing your pet’s feet immediately following a walk to removed any chemicals, such as rock salt or ice melt. Also, if you take your pets out to play in snow, make sure their microchip is up-to-date. Local lost and found groups can help reunite pets if they are separated from their owners.
According to veterinarians, there are a number of signs to watch to know when your dog is getting too cold, which includes:
- Their limbs become very cold
- Breathing becomes rapid
- Increased urination
- Fur standing on end
- Shivering
- Disorientation
- Pale gums
