Winter Weather Safety for Pets: Hypothermia, Frostbite, and Chemical HazardsAs winter approaches, experts stress the importance of pet safety, emphasizing risks like hypothermia, frostbite, and chemical hazards. Dogs can suffer frostbite below 32°F, especially if wet, and hypothermia, which can be deadly if not treated promptly. De-icing salts and antifreeze pose additional threats, burning paws and causing indigestion or kidney failure if ingested. Pet-friendly alternatives and protective measures are recommended. Despite cold weather, active breeds can enjoy winter sports, and indoor activities keep pets engaged on extremely cold days.
