The following is the beginning of a good article for this time of year, especially in the colder areas. There's some good tips in it from the Humane Society.
Many dogs enjoy a fun romp through the snow, but when temperatures fall, it’s important for pet owners to make sure their animals stay warm enough.
It’s especially important for puppies and kittens, which cannot regulate their body temperatures as well as adult pets, said veterinarian Gary LaBar, of Pointe Animal Clinic in Fenton. If it’s below 40 degrees, puppy and kitten owners need to be very careful, he said. Small animals have potential for frostbite on their feet, and the thin skin of their ears.
