Butkus wants you to check out these tips shared from an Albany County NY email update:
" - Keep your home humidified and towel dry your pet as soon as he comes inside
- Never shave your dog down to the skin in winter
- Wash and dry your pet’s feet and stomach to remove ice, salt and chemicals
- Bathe your pets as little as possible during cold spells
- Massaging petroleum jelly or other paw protectants into paw pads before going outside can help protect from salt and chemical agents
- Feeding your pet a little bit more during the cold weather months can provide much-needed calories
- Remember, if it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet, so keep your animals inside"
