Cold weather can be tough on pets, especially seniors, puppies, and animals with short coats. Limit outdoor time during extreme temperatures and make sure they have a warm, dry place to rest indoors.

Ice, salt, and cold pavement can irritate or burn paw pads. Wipe paws after walks and use pet-friendly ice melt around your home to prevent injuries or accidental ingestion. Protective booties can also help keep paws comfortable.

A few small precautions can make winter safer and more comfortable for every pet. ❄️🐾

We had the opportunity to speak with two Alberta-based Equine Registered Veterinary Technologists, Amy Burden, RVT, and Shelby Bennett, RVT, about handling stress and building emotional resilience in equine veterinary medicine.

In our latest article, they share honest insight into the emotional weight of the profession, from navigating high-pressure situations and difficult decisions to the importance of teamwork, boundaries, and self-awareness. 🐴💙
