Tuesday night is expected to be the coldest night of the season thus far. Orange County Animal Services is now reminding people to not forget about their furry loved ones as temperatures are getting colder.


What You Need To Know

  • There is a common misbelief that dogs and cats are more resistant to the cold than people
  • Very young, older and pets with a medical conditions may experience more difficulty regulating their body temperature
  • Pet owners are advised to be mindful of the time their pets spend outdoors during the cooler months

In a release by the Orange County Animal Services, pets were advised to be kept indoors during the extreme cold, debunking the common misbelief that due to their fur, dogs and cats are more resistant to the cold than people.

Very young, older and those pets with medical conditions are at a higher risk and may experience more difficulty regulating their body temperature.

Though milder temperatures are expected to come later in the week on Thursday, showers are also expected on Friday and into the weekend.

The Orange County Animal Services released a list of tips for pet and livestock owners as temperatures continue to drop.

Check or replace water frequently

As temperatures continue to decrease, it is important to make sure pets have adequate access to drinkable water. 

Orange County Animal Services advises using heated buckets or water heaters to make sure water does not freeze. Frequently changing water is also an alternative to making sure that water does not freeze.

Check under car hoods

Car engines can be a good hiding spot for cats and other animals in the cooler months. Car owners are encouraged to check underneath the hood before starting engines to make sure no animals have crawled underneath for warmth.

Check and wipe paws

Car owners are also encouraged to be mindful of common chemicals from cars that have sweet odors such as antifreeze. These chemicals can be tempting and very harmful for animals.

After walks and time outside, be sure to wipe paws after spending time outside and checking for other common cold weather problems like cracked paws and frost bite.

Make sure pets are wearing ID tag

During the colder months, pets’ sense of smell could be impacted by the cooler temperatures, making it can be harder for some pets to find their way home. In the event a pet gets lost, it is important to make sure pets are wearing their collar with an ID tag.

The Orange County Animal Services also recommends getting pets microchipped to improve chances of pets returning home safely.

Have routine checkups

Protecting pets by visiting a veterinarian routinely and having routine checkups is recommended. It helps to stay aware of any underlying health concerns, especially those that are impacted by extreme temperatures.

Pet owners are also encouraged to stay prepared and proactive educating others. They are advised to be mindful of how much time their beloved pet friends spend outside as well as how to protect them from the cold weather and wind if they are unable to bring them indoors.

People can contact Animal Services right away if they see a pet left outdoors without proper protection by calling 919-942-PETS (7387). If it is after hours, people are people are encouraged to call 911 if the situation is life-threatening.
