Cold temperatures can be just as harmful for pets as is hot weather.
Recently with winter hitting everyone rather hard it not only affects us but also our four legged friends, who no matter the weather, still have to take outside.
Katelyn Stojadinov from the OSPCA gives us a helpful hint to keep pets safe in the cold weather.
She has this to say about leaving pets in a vehicle on a cold day, even if it's just for a few minutes.
Here's something important to keep in mind when you come back home after a winter walk with your furry friend.
The Ontario SPCA also urges caution around vehicles. Cars cool rapidly in winter, making them unsafe places for pets.
Engines remain warm for a while after being turned off and can attract cats seeking shelter. Before starting your car, knock on the hood or honk the horn to make sure no animals are hiding underneath.
