Winter fun - with or without snow

Particularly when there is snow, winter is great fun for humans and pets alike. However, there are a few things to keep in mind so that our pets and the animals in our garden do not suffer in frosty weather:

• Provide frost-free drinking water and a sheltered place for warming up
• Regularly check the paws of dogs and free-roaming cats
• For dogs that get cold quickly or have health problems, a coat could be useful
• Offer a sheltered retreat option for hedgehogs, e.g. with our hedgehog hotel
• help wild birds to find food by setting up a feeding place for them
