Winter has reared its head once more with a snow storm here in New York. If we’re getting snow, we know other parts of the country are also suffering from last minute winter woes.

With heavy snow it’s a good idea to keep outdoor pets indoors – no one wants their pet disappearing in a pile of snow.

Walks? When the snow is thick on the ground and steadily piling up, even the most snow-loving dog isn’t going to do well. So use your noggin (that’s your head) and get some puppy pads or the special fake grass called PottyPatch for your dog to use as an alternative to outdoors.

Exercise woes for your pet are no fun, but be creative. If you live in an apartment building, why not strap on the leash and take your dog for a walk through the halls, or even better up and down a few flights of stairs (we suggest doing this after he’s gone to the bathroom, just in case). Playing games with your dog in the house or apartment work, too.

And in cold weather, cats love to sleep on top of motors, under the hood of cars, so please, before you drive off into the day (or the night as the case may be), we suggest checking under the hood for any sleeping kitties.

So keep warm, keep your pets warm and dry and if you live in a warm state, can we come visit?
