AVMA podcast: Protect your pets during cold weather

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) reminds pet owners in a new podcast that winter weather brings a host of potential hazards for pets, but with some preparation pets can be healthy and comfortable until the spring thaw."Most pet owners seem to worry about their pets overheating in the summer, but tend to overlook the dangers of cold weather. Their fur coats don't always provide the necessary protection from the cold, particularly for small animals when the weather becomes extremely cold," explains Dr. Douglas G. Aspros, immediate past president of the AVMA.
