Tips for keeping your pets safe this winter from Pawbo

 

With the cold freeze creeping in we leave the house wearing a t-shirt, jumper, big woolly coat, hat, scarf and gloves. But while we are warm and cozy, we often leave our furry friends to cope with the wild winds and snowstorms on their own. This could get them ill and bring much discomfort to them. Unconditional love deserves protection, so ensure to apply for reliable and affordable pet insurance today to help cover your pet’s care.

 

A classic Christmas jumper

Some dog breeds are blessed with thick fur that naturally keeps them warm in winter, but for others why not dress them up in a matching Christmas jumper so while you’re out for a walk they look festive as well as warm! Do keep in mind that even with a jumper, short haired dogs will still get cold very quickly so don’t keep them outside for too long.

 

Check for ice balls

If dogs start lifting up their paws, whining or stopping mid-walk, their feet might be painful from the cold and wet ground. If their paws are too cold, ice balls may form between the pads and toes of their feet. Make sure you trim the hair around their paws and keep an eye on how they’re walking.

 

Clear your cat flap

Cat flaps can often be blocked by snow so make sure you clear the pathway for your cat. Cats may also wander off to find warmth and hide underneath car engines so take care when starting the car as cats can be seriously injured when the engine starts. It is also advisable to microchip your cat, so if they are found they can be traced back to you.

 

Keep an eye on your pets whilst you’re out and about this Christmas

It’s hard leaving your pets at home but with the Pawbo⁺ interactive pet camera, you can easily check in on your animals to make sure they are safe and sound. Whilst you’re out spending the evening with friends or visiting family for Christmas lunch, the Pawbo⁺ interactive pet camera easily lets you hear and see your pets, talk to them, take photos, give treats and even play games with them.

Along with the live feed, videos can be stored allowing you an in-depth look into your pet’s behaviour and giving piece of mind. You can also add accessories including the Pawbo Flash, a light that lets you see pets when the room is dark, and the Pawbo Catch, a teaser toy for cats proving more interaction and exercise.
