Headlines everywhere are warning about extremely cold weather conditions ahead as a result of the “Cyclone Bomb” winter storm. According to forecasts, most of the lower 48 states will be affected, meaning hundreds of millions of people will be preparing for potential hazards.
If you’re a pet owner, that means you’ll also need to keep your pets out of harm’s way.
Best Friends Animal Society, a leading animal welfare organization working to end the killing of cats and dogs by 2025, offers the following tips to keep your pet as safe as possible: Keep your pets inside during the storm, especially at night. Cats and dogs, even those with thick coats, can get frostbite on sensitive areas. Their paws, ears, and tail are the most common tissues to be affected, especially if wet. Provide pets with a heated, comfortable space.
