The winter weather is not only harsh for humans, but for your pet too.

Oswald Sawh from the Thompson Humane Society is reminding pet owners to take extra care this winter.

Sawh recommends making sure the base of the dog shelter is properly insulated. He is also reminding people that not all dogs are made for the cold. Make sure your dog’s breed can withstand the cold before taking it outside for an extended period of time.
