WINTER CHILL CHECKLIST,for PETS

[Guest guest]

WINTER CHILL CHECKLIST

A holiday season spent with friends and family brings

cheer to all.

But the season's inevitably colder weather can make

your pet less

cheerful – especially about going outside. So keep her

happy amidst

the wintry bliss. Here's how:

• Washing in a Winter Wonderland – Your pet's paws

need special

care. Chemicals in sand and salt that prevent slipping

can burn her

footpads, leading her to lick and ingest harmful

chemicals. Wash her

paws with warm water after romps outside. Check for

frostbite, too.

• Cuddle Up – With guests coming and going, the best

gift you can

give your pet is a warm, quiet place to relax. Keep a

warm blanket or

pillow out of drafts, but a safe distance from a

fireplace or

wood-burning stove. Install a protective screen in

front of the

fireplace to keep a curious pet away from ashes and

popping wood.

• Home for the Holidays – Prancing around in the snow

may be fun for

your pet, but snow can cover scents they use to

determine where they

belong. Keep their ID tags current with your contact

information and

make sure they don't escape the yard.

• Winter Warm Up – While warmer climates don't always

see snowflakes

in the winter, remember to provide warm, dry shelter

for your pet if

she spends any time outside, especially on brisk

nights. Also, be sure

her water dish doesn't freeze overnight or on

especially cold days.

From Petchat by Hills Science Diet

Spiritual freedom is my birthright.

I am a free thinker. I am able to rise above mental

prejudices and stereotypes of others.

I am a free thinker. Nobody and nothing can manipulate

me or deceive me.

I am a free thinker. I freely choose truth and love.

Today, I embrace a greater degree of spiritual

freedom.
