The winter months are upon us, and as most of you know, Alpine temperatures change constantly, and it has been known to drop to single-digit temperatures. It is important to protect your pets from the elements while they are outside. Alpine Animal Services recommends that all pets be allowed inside when temperatures are below freezing, and if they have to go outside, make sure it is not for long periods of time and that they have access to sufficient shelter and water. Here are some tips for keeping your pet safe in the winter: Make sure that your dog has a well-insulated, waterproof doghouse. If you have outdoor cats, make sure they have one too. Shelters should be big enough for them to move around comfortably. Shelters should be elevated and have some type of bedding. Never leave pets outside during an ice or snowstorm.
