Here are some useful tips:
+ Turn dog houses so the cold north wind isn't blowing right into them + Insulate dog houses;with hay or straw for added warmth
+ Provide access to plenty of fresh water because "pets needing less water in cold weather" ia myth
+ Be sure your "escape artist" dogs that must be tethered to avoid running-at-large are tethered properly on a trolley
+ Be sure dogs and cats are up to date on rabies shots and dogs have current city tags which are;good from Jan 1st-Dec 31st of each year
+ Be sure to spay and neuter your pets to help reduce their desire to roam, cut down on aggressive behavior and lower their risk of getting certain types of cancer
