‘Even the most well-trained pet can unexpectedly dart onto unsafe ice,' OPSCA staffer says. ‘The results can be devastating'

With the weather regularly changing nowadays, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society reminds area residents to be vigilant when walking with their pets near bodies of water.

“Animals are naturally curious and unpredictable, which means even the most well-trained pet can unexpectedly dart onto unsafe ice,” says Jennifer Bluhm, the organization’s vice-president of community outreach services.

“The results can be devastating. Keeping your pet on a leash near waterways and choosing safe play areas could be the difference between a fun winter outing and a tragedy.”

To help ensure a safe winter for everyone, the agency urges the public to take extra precautions around lakes and rivers and is offering a few tips to keep in mind.

  • Always use a leash – Keep your dog on a leash when walking near water. If you live near the water, always supervise pets outdoors. Hypothermia can set in quickly and your dog may not be able to climb back on the ice if they fall through.
  • Play away from the ice – Avoid areas where your dog might be tempted to explore dangerous ice. Choose safe locations for winter play and exercise.
  • Check ice safety – Before venturing out the ice, check ice thickness. Slushy, thawed, or recently refrozen ice is particularly dangerous, as is ice near flowing water. Avoid venturing onto ice at night when visibility is reduced.
  • Know the risks in your area – Fast-flowing water and slippery banks can increase hazards. Stay aware of your surroundings to keep your pet safe.
  • Be prepared for emergencies – Be cautious and avoid putting yourself at risk if trying to rescue a pet. Carry a cellphone for quick access to emergency services.
