Winter Safety For Your Dog
It’s wintertime and you’ve got to take care to make sure your dogs are safe indoors. There are a few concerns every dog lover should keep in mind this time of year. Here’s a handy dandy checklist:
Heating System: Particularly if you’ve got an old-school furnace, make sure your dog can’t get into it! The hot water heater is the same thing – make sure your dog is trained to stay away from all things heat that run in the depths of your house.
Carbon Monoxide: Humans aren’t the only ones affected by Carbon Monoxide so why not get a Home Security ADT system for your house to ensure if you’ve got a leak the alarm will sound? At the very least install combination smoke detector/CO2 detectors at the house.
Mend Fences: Make sure your yard is fully fenced in – this is the season when it’s easier to put your dog in the yard than bear the cold for a walk! As long as he’s safely secured you won’t have to worry and you won’t get too cold – remember dogs can’t take freezing temps long either.
