With schools closed, transport in chaos and life a bit joyless at the moment, today was a chance for some to get out, have some fun and enjoy the snow. ❄️ 📲 Tap for the latest snow updates:
Like humans, animals can be at risk of hypothermia if they become too cold, and may spend less time outside.Raised beds can keep older dogs away from draughts, while cats may like high-up dens.
The charity also recommends extra playtime for pets to make sure they keep active. New indoor toys can help. Providing cats with indoor litter trays also means less need to go outside. You should consider keeping them inside overnight. You should check your pet's paws if they have been in snow and ice, as cold temperatures, grit and salt can make pads very sore, the PDSA says.advises buying a winter coat or jumper for sick or elderly dogs, or those with thinner hair.
If you have to walk in the dark, make sure you and your dog can be seen with hi-vis leads, coats, and LED collars. A sudden drop in temperature can also have a big impact on outside pets, such as rabbits and guinea pigs. They should be given extra bedding for warmth, but the PDSA recommends moving them to a more sheltered space or bringing them inside.
