Pet Health
• Change up your pet’s exercise routine – Outdoor walks may
be limited in cold winter months, so change your play routine to
ensure adequate exercise for your pet. See if your community has
an indoor recreation area to get out some energy.
• Adjust food portion sizes – To accommodate the fluctuation
in activity, adjust the amount of food and treats you give to your
pet. Avoiding weight gain during months that your pet is more
sedentary is important.
• Limit bathing – Natural oils help your pet maintain a healthy
coat during dry winter months. Be sure to keep bathing to a
minimum to reduce skin issues. If you need to bathe your pets, be
sure to dry them thoroughly, even if they are staying in the house.
• Pets need moisturizer, too – In addition to limiting baths, help
prevent dry skin with coconut oil, a natural moisturizer that can
aid flaky or cracking skin.
• Wipe away chemicals – Wash and dry your pet’s paws and
stomach to remove chemicals from road salt after outdoor walks.
These chemicals can cause burns to paws and skin if not removed
(plus you don’t want them in your house). If your dog has furry
feet, trim the fur between the pads to prevent build-up of ice and
snow.

• Prevent burns – Block off heat sources such as fireplaces and
space heaters to prevent burns and accidents.
• Warm bed – Keep your pet’s sleeping area away from drafty doors
and cold floors. Providing a cozy bed will help keep pets warm
during cold months.
• Watch for hazardous edibles – Keep holiday ornaments,
lights, poinsettias, alcohol, and chocolate out of reach to prevent
accidental ingestion. If you suspect your pet has ingested
something hazardous, call your vet immediately.
• Never leave your pet unattended in the car – No matter
what season it is, do not leave your pet in the car. Freezing cold
temperatures are equally as dangerous as the heat of the summer
months. Leave your pet at home, or find a pet sitter to stop by to
visit while you’re out.
