Dogs in winter
Protect paws: Road salt and ice can cause painful cracks. Rinse paws with lukewarm water after every walk.
Paw care: If necessary, paw balm protects against dehydration.
Protection from the cold: Small, old or short-haired dogs get cold more quickly - a coat can be useful.
Adapt your walks: It's better to do several short laps instead of one long one in extreme frost.
Cats in winter
Let them in at night: Many cats look for warm places and get into danger (e.g. cars, machines).
Car check: Knock briefly on the bonnet before driving off - cats seek shelter from the cold there.
More energy requirements: Cats consume more energy in winter - a little more food can help.
Avoid road salt - for the sake of animals and natureRoad salt damages paws and plants and gets into the groundwater.
Better: use sand, chippings or blunting agents.
Animal welfare starts on your own doorstepYou can prevent a lot of suffering with small measures - for pets and wild animals.
Please share so that more animals can get through the winter safely.
