Tips to keep our furry friends warm in winter

Johannesburg and other parts of South Africa saw a dusting of rare snowfall on Monday. The last time this amount of snow was seen was in 2012. With the recent snowfall, here are some tips on keeping your furry friends warm during the chilly winter months, according to ePETtalk.

• Keep them indoors; this is the best way to ensure your furry friend stays warm and dry. If your pet has to go outside, please ensure they have a dry, sheltered place.
• Provide them with a warm bed. Consider investing in pet-specific sweaters or coats designed to provide insulation and comfort. Dress them warmly.
• Check their paws regularly for any signs of frostbite and apply a paw balm to keep them protected. It's essential to check your pets' paws as they can get cold and dry in the winter.
• Avoid giving them cold water or food because cold water can shock your pet's system and cold food can cause stomach upset, so give them warm water to drink.
• Increase pets' calorie intake. Pets need more calories to stay warm in the winter. You can increase their calorie intake by giving them more food or adding a high-calorie supplement to their diet.
• Take them for shorter walks. If you take your pet for walks in the winter, make sure to keep the walks short. This will help them avoid getting too cold.
• Watch for signs of hypothermia. Hypothermia is a severe condition that can occur in pets if they get too cold. Symptoms of hypothermia include shivering, weakness and confusion. If you think your pet may be hypothermic, seek veterinary attention immediately.
