Keep Your Cat Indoors 猫咪屋里待着好
Kitties allowed to wander outdoors unsupervised are at much greater risk than house-cats, no matter the time of year. But a cat left outside in cold weather can literally freeze to death, or become permanently lost.
无论什么时候,如果猫咪无人看管,待在室外要比在室内危险得多。寒冬腊月的时候,猫咪待在室外很有可能会被冻死,或者走丢,再也找不回来了。
Keep Them On A Leash 狗链不可少
Keep your dog on his leash when you're outside with him. It's very easy for pups to lose their scent and get lost when snow or ice is on the ground. Light-colored dogs with snow on their fur can quickly blend into the background, making them nearly impossible to spot.
出去遛狗的时候,狗链一定要戴好。冬天下雪或者地面结冰的时候,狗狗的嗅觉很容易受影响从而迷路。在漫天白雪中,如果毛色浅的狗狗身上积了雪花,那么人们是很难把它们从茫茫白雪中辨认出来的。
Keep Them Warm 保暖很重要
Don't shave or clip your dog's coat too short during the winter months. A longer coat will keep him warmer. If your pup has short hair, a doggy sweater might be in order.
冬天的时候就不要把狗毛修剪得太短了,长长的狗毛才能保暖。如果你的小狗的狗毛不够长,那就给它穿上件外套吧。
Being Active During Winter 冬天也要做运动
If you and your dog participate in lots of outdoor winter activities, make sure his species-appropriate diet has sufficient calories and protein to meet his energy requirements. This may mean increasing his meal portions during the winter months.
如果冬天狗狗还是做很多的户外运动,那么别忘了给它加餐,要增加热量和蛋白质的摄入以保证能量的供应。
Give Them A Warm Place To Sleep 温暖小窝睡得香
Make sure your pet has cozy, draft-free winter sleeping quarters. If your dog has her own crate, make sure her winter bed inside it is one that will keep her warm. Your kitty should have a snug sleeping spot as well, with warm bedding she can curl up in.
给你的宠物一个温暖又自由的小窝。如果你的小狗有自己的狗屋,那么要确保它的床铺够暖和。猫咪也一样,床铺要温暖又舒适,这样它们才可以自如地蜷缩在里面。
Give Them Extra Love 寒冬也要爱满溢
Give your frail or older pet some extra love. Cold winter temperatures can be especially hard on a senior pet, or on a dog or kitty with chronic, debilitating conditions.
给那些虚弱的、上了年纪的宠物更多的关爱。冬天对于那些年老的、有慢性疾病的、健康状况不佳的宠物来说需要更多的照顾和关爱。
