Baby It's Cold Outside........

With the bad weather heading our way please keep your furry friends in mind. Bring your pets inside the house or garage. If this is not possible be sure that they have very protective shelter(plastic dog crates are not acceptable for outside protection due to the slits) and use straw instead of blankets. Blankets will freeze once they become wet, but straw will not freeze and helps keep your pet warm. Provide food and unfrozen water to your pets. Any owner who neglects to provide the above for their pets can be cited by the city, and please don't hesitate to call Animal Control(785-537-2112) to report a pet in distress as it can be life threatening. Also remember your pets can get frostbite so keep outside excursions to short and sweet. Be safe, be courteous, be smart with yourselves and furry community members.
