Just like the northeast areas with Sandy the Storm, we should all be preparing our pets for winter.
Make sure outdoor pets have clean, warm, dry, draft-free housing. Make sure that the areas in front of housing are not going to become mudholes.
Indoor pets need to be checked for parasites (fleas, tapeworms etc) and make sure all pets Indoors and Outdoors are still getting their monthly Heartworm parasite prevention.

I may be big, but I need shelter and care

please think about my safety
