When It Gets Cold<\/h3>\n

The brrrrr is on! Ice storms, heavy snowfalls, and plummeting temperatures can make outdoor exercise for dogs quite challenging.<\/p>\n

For tips on keeping dogs safe during cold winter months, I reached out to a trio of professional pet sitters who live in cold states. They include Amanda Waring and Jayde McEdwards from an Anchorage, Alaska-based pet services company called Hooman For Hire, and Joni Sullivan, co-owner of Joan of Ark Pet Sitting based in Rockland, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring winter, Anchorage temperatures can be negative 13 degrees \u2013 and that\u2019s without a wind chill factor \u2013 so it is important for all of our staff always to check weather apps and be prepared before heading to clients\u2019 homes,\u201d says Amanda, a former veterinary technician.<\/p>\n

When preparing to take clients\u2019 dogs for walks in the winter, Jayde always fits ice cleats to her boots to reduce the risk of her slipping on icy paths.
\n\u201cI have walked up to three dogs at a time, but I know these clients\u2019 dogs and I use a hip leash for more stability and control,\u201d says Jayde. \u201cFortunately, these three dogs listen to me very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Massachusetts, winter can sometimes stretch all the way to late April or early May, reports Joni. \u201cOur winters can be long and filled with blizzards, drifting snow and ice,\u201d she says. \u201cOur company has an extreme weather policy that other pet-sitting companies might consider. If the temperatures are too low, we take the dogs out for quick potty breaks and bring them back in the clients\u2019 homes to play indoor games like \u2018use your sniffer\u2019 to find treats in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n

How to Survive the Cold<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The trio share these snow-surviving pet care tips:
\n\u2022 Dress in layers and sport sunglasses when driving or walking dogs outdoors. The reason? When the sun hits snow, it can be very bright and tiring on the eyes.
\n\u2022 Mittens or gloves? The trip prefer wearing gloves because it is easier to handle a dog\u2019s leash and open unused poop bags.
\n\u2022 Consider applying pet-safe wax on dog paws to prevent ice buildup and slippage during wintery walks.
\n\u2022 Keep an inexpensive bag of cat litter or old car mats in your vehicle that you can use in front of your tires to give traction on icy roads.
\n\u2022 Know your dog\u2019s limits. Be aware of your dog\u2019s tolerance for cold weather and adjust accordingly by shortening walks. Pets with conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, Cushing\u2019s and kidney disease have harder times regulating their body temperatures.
\n\u2022 Understand that senior dogs and ones with arthritis may have more difficulty walking on snow and ice, making them more prone to slipping and falling.
\n\u2022 Recognize that short-legged dogs may become colder faster because their bellies and bodies are more likely to come into contact with snow-covered ground during walks.
\n\u2022 Never walk dogs on frozen ponds, lakes or rivers. These frozen bodies of water could crack open, plunging the pet and you into frozen water.
\n\u2022 Always wipe a pet\u2019s feet, legs and belly to remove any deicing products, antifreeze or other toxic chemicals from their bodies after walks. Keep antifreeze and deicers in areas inaccessible to pets.<\/p>\n

Signs of Hypothermia<\/h3>\n

All three are trained in pet first aid and remind pet sitters to be on the lookout for signs a client\u2019s dog or cat may be suffering from hypothermia. These warning signs include:
\n\u2022 Shivering. This is a natural response by a pet to try to keep his body warm while outside.
\n\u2022 Drowsiness or stumbling while on a walk.
\n\u2022 Gums that turn from healthy bubble gum pink to light blue \u2013 a sign of hypothermia. Gums that progress to pale signal the pet is going into shock.<\/p>\n

Inside your home, make sure your dogs and other indoor pets are safe from space heaters or unsupervised heating pads that could spark a fire.
\nAdds Amanda, \u201cKeep pet-safe heating pads on low settings because pet bodies are smaller than ours and can absorb heat quicker than us.\u201d<\/p>\n
