Keep your winter walks short to help prevent your pet from getting hypothermia and frostbite. It's actually a myth that your pet's fur will protect them from cold related injuries and illnesses. If you notice any of these signs, take them out of the cold right away and call your vet. - For frostbite, you can spray the affected area with warm water or lightly apply a warm compress while being careful not to rub it. - For hypothermia, take your pet's temperature (below 98.5° F indicates hypothermia) and wrap them in a blanket with warm water bottles nearby. #Frostbite #Hypothermia #PetFirstAid #WalkYourPetMonth
