Tips For Pet Owners During Cold Weather

Tips For Pet Owners During Cold Weather

With the National Weather Service forecasting temperatures below zero over the weekend, Clay Stoddard with Red Hydrant Inn and Playground in Yankton has some tips for pet owners during the cold weather.

Stoddard says that one thing to be mindful of is that pets can slip and get hurt on the ice just like humans.

Stoddard advises that pet owners with outside pets need to make sure that their pets are sheltered against the wind and that their bedding is dry.

Stoddard added that while clothing such as sweaters can help provide insulation for pets, they are not a sustainable option for pets in freezing weather overnight.
