I feel fortunate to live in Southern California where our winter temperature rarely dips below 50°.
Having grown up on the East coast, I am well aware that the winter temperatures I’m now used to in Los Angeles aren’t the norm for the rest of the country. As a result, the need exists for owners to take extra precautions to prevent pet injury or illness associated with wintry weather or other environmental or man-made factors.
Fortunately, through a common sense approach and proper planning, owners can help ensure their companion canines and felines don’t suffer the potentially adverse effects of frosty weather.
