When the holidays roll around, you want to include your pets in all the festivities as much as possible, right down to a big plate of turkey. That’s everybody’s favourite part and who can resist those big puppy-dog eyes and drooling chops when you’re sitting down to dinner? But the delicious bird you prepare for the holidays might not agree with your dog’s constitution.
On those chilly wintry days (or nights) when your cat is outside frollicking in the snow, it’s natural to worry if they’ll get frostbite or hyperthermia. How cold is too cold?
As soon as there’s a blanketing of snow on the ground, your dog will be itching to get outside to romp and play – and what better fun! As long as your dog is protected from the elements with coats and boots, then the cold, wet, winter weather shouldn’t be a problem. But that doesn’t mean that your dog can’t get sick from being out in the cold for too long.
Whether you decide to put up a real fir tree or an imitation one this Christmas, there are a few things you’ll need to nail down to keep your cat safe.
If you’re the kind of dog owner who loves to get out and walk with your dog, and enjoys playing with them as much as you do cuddling, there’s good news for you. All that loving interaction with your dog is good for your heart.
If you’re looking for the best place to celebrate the Holiday season with your favourite pet, then crawl, slither, hop, walk, swim, or fly down to the annual Toronto Christmas Pet Show this November 23 & 24th at the International Centre in Mississauga. All pets are welcome, as long as they’re accompanied by an adult human! (Download the waiver for more details).
