With temperatures dropping to dangerous levels, it's important to keep your pets' safety in mind. The number one recommendation is that when it is below freezing outside, you should bring your animals indoors. Make sure your home is pet proofed. Keep potentially harmful food and liquids up and away and be sure space heaters are in a safe spot, so they don't get knocked over or burn your pet.
