In many parts of the country, we're winterizing our homes as we prepare for winter's coldest days.
Proper nourishment is a prime consideration.
Well-nourished pets, particularly those housed outdoors, are better prepared to withstand the rigors of winter. Outdoor pets normally need more food to generate enough energy to cope with the cold. This is easily accomplished by feeding a high-quality nutritionally complete and balanced dog or cat food. You don't need any supplements unless your veterinarian recommends them for a health condition. If this is the case, chances are your pet should not be housed outside.
