Hypothermia
and frostbite from the cold and snow, broken bones from falling on
ice and poisoning from ingesting antifreeze are just a few of the
hazards that make winter the most deadly season of the year for pets,
animal experts warn.
And
pet parents are being urged to take precautions to keep their dogs
and cats safe by limiting their outdoor activities in extreme cold
and snow, and using sweaters to keep them warm and treatments to
protect their feet during outdoor activities.
Lack
of sunlight, cold and snow, and curtailed outdoor activities can be
depressing for anyone, including our pets, and those winter blues can
have serious health consequences for dogs and cats, too, a leading
veterinarian warns.
Many
pets deal with the psychological effects of wintertime by sleeping
too much, overeating and avoiding exercise, a routine that can lead
to obesity and other illnesses, according to Dr. Elaine Pendlebury of
PDSA, a leading veterinary charity in Britain.
The Hunt of Her Life Original Book ($29.99) is a nonfiction book about Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog who the author adopts at age 2. This beautifully designed full-color deluxe book, by longtime newspaper journalist Joseph A. Reppucci, contains more than 60 vibrant color
photos of dogs to help illustrate the compelling and uplifting of Samantha - a pretty tricolor bird dog who uses her warm personality to win people over and build a new family after being put up for adoption by a hunter because she is gun-shy and afraid to hunt. Learn how she uses her special bonding
abilities with people to help her eventually make a difficult, but
successful, transition to family life.

Your
pet might like fancy toys, enjoy tasty treats and get excited when
gobbling down a special mouth-watering meal, but those who give their
dogs and cats gifts and food to celebrate the New Year should consider a different approach.
Leading
animal welfare organizations say that as much as your pet might
appreciate toys and treats, those gifts pale in comparison to the
most cherished thing in the life of a dog or cat, and that thing is
your time and attention.
Candy
and flowers may be enjoyable for people, but they can be killers if
ingested by dogs and cats, making Valentine's Day one of the more
poisonous days of the year for pets, according to animal welfare
advocates.
Pet
parents are being advised to be vigilant when it comes to keeping
sweets out of reach of their companions, because chocolate is so
toxic that it can kill even in small amounts and flowers also can be
poisonous and damage internal organs,
according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
