With a freeze warning in effect across San Diego until Thursday morning, San Diego Humane Society reminds pet owners to take extra care of their pets during cold weather.
\nSan Diego Humane Society recommends the following tips to keep animals safe:
\n1. Keep pets indoors during times of extreme temperatures.
\n2.\u00a0Give pets plenty of food. Pets may need more food in the winter to generate energy and keep warm.
\nConsult with your veterinarian to determine a healthy diet for your pet.\u00a0
\n3.\u00a0Provide horses and other livestock with a windbreak, cover, warm bedding, abundant high-quality feed and fresh water.
\n4.\u00a0Parked cars attract feral cats and small animals who may crawl up under the hood looking for warmth. To avoid injuring any hidden animals, bang on your car’s hood to scare them away before starting your engine.
\n5. Use caution with antifreeze \u2013 it\u2019s poisonous to pets. Contact your vet immediately if you think your pet has consumed antifreeze.
\n6. Watch out for signs of frostbite and hypothermia: Ice on body and limbs, shivering, weakness, skin that is bright red followed by pale color to black color. Seek vet care immediately if these signs occur.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
