Cold weather warning to dog owners from RSPCA - tips to protect your pet
As freezing temperatures spread across the UK, dog owners are being urged to act now to protect their pooches. The RSPCA has shared some tips and advice for keeping pets safe in cold weather.
RSPCA inspectorate commissioner Dermot Murphy says its important pet owners take steps to help our furry friends through the chilly conditions. He told the ECHO: "We don’t advise keeping dogs outside in any weather."Meeting the needs of dogs when they’re kept outside is very hard, and more so in very low temperatures.
You should wash their paws thoroughly after walking them in areas which may have been gritted with rock salt and also keep any stored products out of their reach. If you think your pet may have ingested something they shouldn’t have, speak to your vet immediately. Animal rescue charity Battersea has also shared some tips for caring for your dog in winter. They say that some dogs may be very reluctant to go outdoors in the cold.
