People aren’t the only ones who should be worried about the extreme cold warning.

“Please be careful in this really cold snap. The cold can affect our pets just as much as it affects us. So being careful about frostbite, making sure that they are not left outside for extended periods of time. Have a jacket on them if they are needing to go outside.”

Dr. Roxane Neufeld says if it’s too cold for you it’s too cold for your pets.

“In this kind of cold temperatures stay inside and keep them inside with you. Much safer.”

Neufeld also recommends people tap the hood of their vehicle before they start it, just in case any cat or other stray animal is hiding in your vehicle trying to find a warm place.
