Cold Tolerance by Breed
Huskies and Samoyeds thrive in cold. Short-haired breeds (Chihuahua, Greyhound), small dogs, puppies, and seniors need winter coats below 5°C.

Antifreeze: Silent Killer
Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) tastes sweet but is deadly. Even a teaspoon can kill a cat. Clean spills immediately and use pet-safe alternatives.
Practical Tips
Wipe paws after walks — road salt irritates pads
Keep outdoor time short in sub-zero temperatures
Provide warm bedding away from drafts
Check under your car before starting — cats hide in warm engines
