    Winters in Chicago can be harsh on people and animals. In the winter of 1985, the temperature dropped to -17 degrees Fahrenheit. Dogs’ and cats’ furry coats offer some protection from cold weather, but plummeting temperatures can be devastating for animals. To ensure your pet is safe and happy in the Windy City, we explore tips and tricks to keep your pet safe, warm, and happy when it’s cold in Chicago.

    Signs That Your Pet is Cold

    Dogs and cats get cold when the temperature drops below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Very young or old dogs or cats, those that have health issues, and cats or dogs that don’t have long, thick coats can’t handle cold temperatures for extended periods. Your pet may huddle close to you or another heat source, tremble, or cramp their posture when they get too cold.

    Symptoms of Cold Exposure in Pets

    When a dog or cat is exposed to extreme cold it could experience rapid breathing and a heart rate that slows to shallow breath. Pupils may get dilated. Your pet may get sluggish, depressed, or lose consciousness. Extreme cold temperatures could result in frostbite, hypothermia, or even death.

    Keeping Your Pet Safe and Happy This Winter

    When the Chicago temperatures plummet in the wintertime, you can make your dog or cat warm, comfortable, and happy. Limit time outdoors so your pet isn’t exposed to extreme cold. Put a warm coat on your furry friend when you venture outside to avoid chills. Heated pet pads are an excellent option for drafty areas in your home. Keep your pet’s paws free of rock salt by thoroughly washing between the toes and drying thoroughly.

    Ensure your dog has compassionate care with a dog walker in Chicago. Greenpaws offers Chicago dog walking, cat sitting, and overnight pet sitting services. One of our experienced dog walkers will walk your dog each day while you’re at work or away from home. Dog walking service is beneficial for dogs that experience separation anxiety and for high-energy pups. We can also help your dog learn basic commands like sit, stay, or come with training reinforcement on each visit. A daily walk is also helpful for socialization. You can schedule your pup’s feeding times when our dog walker is at your home, so you don’t have to worry about your furry friend having access to food and water.

    Although cats have a reputation for being less social than dogs, they do form strong emotional bonds with their owners. Cats may get upset when their environment or daily routine is changed. A cat may suddenly exhibit aggressive or fearful behavior when these changes occur. Green Paws has the perfect solution. If you’re the pet parent of a cat, we can provide drop-in home visits, feed, clean the litter box, and spend time with your feline friend. We’re also available to provide cat sitter in Chicago services.

    When you need Chicago dog walking services, cat visits, hourly sittings, or in-home overnight sittings, contact Green Paws. We provide reliable, compassionate pet services for your dog or cat.
