Award Winning Sacramento Moving Company Gives Winter Safety Tips For Your Animal Companions

Online, December 9, 2011 (Newswire.com) - It's cold outside and the following guidelines will help you protect your pets when the temperature drops.

Dogs and cats that sleep outside should have a snug, dry and draft-free place to sleep. Also remember to have an elevated floor.

Outdoor pets need more food and water in the winter because maintaining body heat burns more calories.

Cats will often seek out the warmth of car engines, so to avoid a tragedy. Either knock on the hood of the car or honk your horn before starting it up.

And remember many winterizing products are deadly to animals, so keep all antifreeze and road salts in a secure place.

Pets often experience dry skin during the winter months. Lack of humidity tends to dry out the skin. A great way to help with this is frequent grooming (brushing) which stimulates the production of oil from the skin gland.

Lastly kindness is the best care during the winter months. If the temperature drops below 15 degrees F., the pet should be moved in with you. What's a better way to show you love your animals, and bond with them.
