Provide plenty of food and water. Dehydrations is especially dangerous in winter. When outside, keep then bundled up. Limit outside time and thoroughly clean (including paws) when brining them in

Drive safe tonight as you head home on your evening commute.🚙 ⚠️ Remember: Ice and snow, take it slow!
about 1 year ago, Creswell Admin
Ice and snow, take it slow. Each year in the US, there are over 1000 deaths and 100,000 injuries due to vehicle crashes during winter weather. Clean off your vehicle before driving. Flying snow from cars can cause accidents. Keep it slow and don't use cruise control. Roads can be slick even if they just look wet. Leave extra distance between vehicles. Stay especially far from snow plows.
