pet adequately hydrated.
With winter quickly approaching, it is time to think
about our furry friends and the cold weather.
Winter in this region, as we all know, can get quite
cold. It is important to keep our pets warm and
out of the cold the best we can.
Start with a well constructed dog house. The
house should be free of holes and drafts. It
should also be well insulated. To keep the wind
from blowing in directly on your pet there should
be a wind break. This is simply a piece of wood
that goes from the top to the bottom of the house
and about 3/4 of the way back. This will make it
so your pet has to go around the wind break to lay
down, thus keeping them out of the wind and
much warmer. Next put a thick layer of hay or
straw in the house so your pet has something
warm to snuggle up in.
Another thing that often gets over looked in the
winter is fresh, unfrozen water. Eating snow will
not keep your pet adequately hydrated. The best
way to keep water dishes free of ice is to
purchase a heated water bowl.
Enjoy the up coming winter season by keeping
you and your pet warm.
