Cold temperatures have had an impact this winter season. High temperatures are expected to drop to 21 degrees on Monday, March 16, with a low of two degrees. Tuesday, March 17 a high of 20 degrees is in the forecast with low temperatures around ten degrees. 

Keep an eye on your pets. Dogs are susceptible to frostbite, especially to their paws, ear tips, nose and tail when exposed to chilly temperatures.

VCA Saukville Animal Hospital Technical Supervisor Lindsey Schulz says antifreeze can be harmful to your pet.

"It's a big thing during winter, people are using antifreeze. They drain it and it is put on the ground and the dog ingests it that way. It's a big thing to be cautious about."               

Lindsey Schulz told WTKM to clean off their paws after spending time outside. 

"Wiping off their paws to make sure they don't have salt in their paws is a great thing to do. Some dogs will allow their owners to put boots on their feet, which is a great idea. Keep that exposure outside to a minimum."

Clinical signs associated with frostbite in dogs include discoloration, coldness, swelling and blisters.  

Never leave dogs in the car and keep them away from frozen water.
