A fur coat does not exclude pets from frostbite and hypothermia.. â€" Ontario‘s laws require that animal guardians supply proper care and shelter. Extremely cold weather affects animals the same as humans. Inspector Gary Boes of the KWHS suggests, "Go out with your dog but don‘t wear gloves â€" when it becomes too cold for you, it is too cold for them." How cold is too cold? Wind chill is a big factor in how the cold affects animals.

Outdoor dogs and cats Dogs use their body temper ature to heat a doghouse. An appropriate sized house must be built with weatherproof materials, facing away from preâ€" vailing winds. "Dogs have frozen to death in their doghouses. Bedding must be changed frequently, and houses should be insulated. Straw is the best bedding â€" blankets and rugs freeze too quickly," Boes said. A dog cannot heat a garage or shed sufficiently with their body heat and can suffer hypothermia. _ Keeping them indoors is best. â€"Cats and dogs that spend time outside will also require increased amounts of food and EAST WATERLOQ Toke GRT Rr 74 Wednesday, February 28, 2007 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Lester B.

Cats should be kept indoors if possible but if they do venture outâ€"ofâ€"doors they will also need adequate, warm shelter. Cats seeking warmth often end up inside car engines which could prove fatal. Additionally, antiâ€"freeze, which is toxic, can attract pets because of its sweet taste. Be sure to clean up spills and to store antiâ€"freeze where pets cannot reach it. Be sure to knock on your hood before starting your car. _ Antiâ€"freeze poisoning requires immediate veterinary treatment. There are times when aniâ€" mals must be outside; when they return indoors, be sure to wipe the corrosive salt from paws to prevent cracking or ingesting salt or chemicals from the ground.
