The Reasons Why Pets Hate Cold Weather Just As Much As You Do
When the weather gets cold, it’s easy to assume that we’re the only ones who hate it. But did you know that your pets also hate the cold just as much as you do? When temperatures drop, pet owners must ensure they don’t leave their furry friends outside too long. While this might not be a big deal for humans, dogs and cats can get hypothermia or frostbite if left out in severe cold temperatures for too long. Many people recommend using the best liquid ice melt or ice melt pallets. Let’s discuss.
Gaia Enterprises Inc. delivers 100% pet-safe and environmentally friendly winter products. Safe Paw, our flagship product, is the #1 selling pet-safe ice melt that does not harm pets, safe if ingested, and safe on all types of concrete.
Cold Temperatures Can Freeze A Pet’s Paws.
Pets are susceptible to cold weather just as much as you are. They can even get hypothermia and frostbite. Sometimes, it can cause frozen skin or paws on your pet. If this happens, take them inside immediately.
Chemicals In Ice Melt Can Do Worse
Chemicals in ice melts can do worse than just making you cough. They can actually be pretty toxic to pets. Whenever you use your best liquid ice melt, keep your pets away from it before and after using it so that they don’t get sick or hurt themselves when they lick their paws afterward.
Ice melt is not only for the safety of your pet, it’s also for your lawn and landscaping. Just as you wouldn’t want to walk on a dry patch of the lawn when you know it could be slippery, neither would your pooch want to walk around barefoot in an area treated with ice melt chemicals. The chemicals found in even the best liquid ice melt can harm your dog.

The Cold Can Worsen Existing Conditions In Your Pet.
A cold snap can make your symptoms worse. Your pet may be suffering from similar afflictions, and the same goes for their immune system.
The cold can exacerbate conditions like allergies, arthritis, and heart disease. If they have any sort of skin condition such as dry or flaky skin or dandruff, it will only get worse in the winter months. Some pets are sensitive to extreme temperatures and will develop hot spots when left outside for long periods of time during colder times of the year.

The Wind Chill Is No Friend To Pets.
The wind chill is the temperature your body feels when the wind is blowing. The wind makes your pets feel colder than they actually are—it takes more energy for your body to heat up those hands than normal, so it feels like it takes longer than usual for them to warm up again after being outside.
As you can see, there are many reasons why your pet may not be able to tolerate the cold. The good news is that there are also some simple things you can do to minimize the risks.
