CARE FOR PETS
■ Now that the cold weather has arrived, the Toronto Humane Society remind us to take extra special care of our pets, and not leave them outside as long as you would in warmer weather. This is especially true for older pets, who feel the cold more readily.
The society advise that pets don't need as many baths in winter, and if one is given, keep your pet inside for at least eight hours .afterward.
Be especially careful to keep anti-freeze away from your pets. Store it in a tightly closed container, and quickly clean up any spills. Street salt is another hazard for pets. The sah can get caught in between paws and can cause irritation and infection.
