BE PREPARED: Winter storm safety tips for people and pets

April 11, 2019 By Wise Owls Leave a Comment

When winter storms hit, we all must stay safe, including our pets. It’s always better to be prepared, and we can do this in a few ways. First, take your pets inside the home! Prevent fires when using heaters (give them space), and don’t leave fireplaces unattended. Make sure you wear enough, hats, mittens, and waterproof boots. Check on your neighbors, especially if they are disabled or elderly. Lastly, be wary of hypothermia. And if traveling, pay attention, keep your distance, and watch for ice on the road.
