- In cold weather make sure that if your pet is outside that they have shelter to protect them from cold wind. Giving your pet a bed inside the shelter will help keep them warmer because they won't be on the cold floor/ground.
- Fresh straw (not hay) can make a nice bed in the doghouse. It is comfortable and helps keep your dog warm.
- A young puppy should not be left outside when it is very cold. They cannot make themselves warm like an older dog can.
- If you leave water outside for your pet, make sure that it does not become frozen. Your dog needs regular, cool water to drink, not ice. If you aren't able to change your pet's water, you might want to buy a special heated pet dish. You can check these out at your favorite pet store.
