If this is not possible, quickly warm the affected area by using warm, moist towels, which should be changed frequently. As the affected tissues become flushed or reddened, discontinue the warming and apply a clean, dry, non-adhering bandage. Carefully store antifreeze where pets cannot reach it. Antifreeze has a sweet taste, which makes it appealing to pets, but it is highly toxic. Frequent brushing of indoor pets is even more important in winter.
Low humidity can lead to dry, itchy skin and increase shedding.
Frequent brushing helps remove dead skin and hair and helps stimulate oil glands.
