As cold weather continues to chill the UK, experts at Petplan pet insurance are reminding pet owners that their four legged friends need protecting from the elements too. There has been a multitude of slips and falls on the ice, not to mention the number of road accidents caused by the weather this winter, but Britain’s pets are also at risk, the pet insurance provider warns. There are additional dangers facing pets in freezing weather, more so than in warmer months, according to Petplan’s vet of the year Ben Jones, so extra care needs to be taken to protect them. Offering pet owners some tips to help their furry friends through the winter months, Mr Jones suggests keeping pets occupied and active with toys in the home if they are housebound by the weather, and providing extra blankets to keep elderly or arthritic pets warm.
