Ques #9: Should I Be Worried If My Dog Likes To Curl Up In Front Of The Fireplace?
Just like humans, dogs find fireplaces irresistible and get drawn to warmth. If your dog is spending a lot of time in front of a fireplace then it might be a sign of your pet feeling cold. However, fireplaces can be a hazard. Flames and sparks from a fire can result in injuries. Make sure there’s a safe distance between your dog and the fireplace.
A fire screen can be used to reduce the risk. The same rule applies to space heaters. They can cause burns. Also, dogs can knock ‘em over, causing fires. Hence, be careful.
We must mention that you have to be very cautious if your dog has health issues like asthma. Fire smoke can prove to be an irritant and worsen the situation.
It is best that you cover your dog well so that your pet doesn’t have a lot of reasons to fit in front of a fire.
Ques #10: What Can I Do For Dogs Roaming Around In The Snow Season?
Here Are A Few Things You Can Do To Help Stray Dogs:
- Provide warm clothing to protect against harsh weather conditions. However, be careful when approaching stray animals as it might not always be safe.
- Use ice melt for dogs to prevent snow from accumulating. This will stop dogs from consuming snow, playing in the snow as these actions can be risky. But, be careful when selecting ice melt for dogs. Stay away from products that contain salts. Safe Paw can be a good option. Our product is safe and affordable.
- Provide water and food as it can be hard for stray dogs to scavenge food during the snow season.
- Failing to provide the right care to a dog is a misdemeanor (animal neglect). If you see a pet dog in neglectful and dangerous conditions, then consider informing the authorities.
Ques #11: How Can I Handle Winter Emergencies?
Emergencies can be of various types such as a storm or injuries. If it’s the former then provide the right care to your pet by using ice melt for dogs, covering your furry friend, and ensuring access to healthy meals.
In case your dog’s sick or injured then waste no time and take your pet to a vet. The American Red Cross can be of help. It offers CPR and pet first aid CPR training to help you deal with emergency situations.
It might be a good idea to create an emergency kit so that you don’t have to worry if there are power outages, injuries, or storms.
