Center and bottom magnets allow the screen to snap closed “magically” after your dog passes through. Portable, frameless design is nearly invisible from the outside. No tools required, installs in minutes.

Cold Weather Care

Just as people have to adjust to colder weather, our pets need to do the same. Here are some quick hints that may help protect your pet during the winter months.

Provide shelter to protect your pet from cold temperatures and the wind.

Provide straw or bedding to give your pet a warm base to lie on.

Make sure your pet’s water doesn’t freeze.

Provide your pet with extra calories to help keep him warm.

Limit outdoor exposure for puppies and older pets. Younger and older pets are more susceptible to the effects of the cold.

Avoid piling snow near fences that may allow your pet an escape route.

Don’t suddenly turn an indoor pet into an outdoor pet. It takes about one month for your pet to get accustom to the lower temperatures.

Don’t leave your pet alone in a car in either cold or hot weather. This is always dangerous.

Pet of the Week

McCarthy – Tampa Bay, FL

Hi!!! My name is McCarthy and I am looking for my forever home. I am a 7 years old, male, Hound mix. I've been through a lot of things in my life and I'm looking for a positive and bright future. Because of my past, I have lost some of my teeth and I have some scarring on my hips from injuries. I'm all better now and I would very much like a home and a family to spend the rest of my days with. Could you be that person???

For more information please contact the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, 3607 N. Armenia Ave., Tampa FL, 33607, (813) 876-7138. http://www.humanesocietytampa.org/


Tigger – Downers Grove, IL

Hi, I’m Tigger! I am an eight year old, female, 2-paw declawed, calico. You really have to meet me to appreciate my beauty. At least that's what they say around here. I got moved to the penthouse at the shelter because I really don't like other cats. I prefer to have all of your attention on me. I don't mind sharing you with a dog because, well, it's a dog.....need I say more? Seriously, I will get along in a family as long as there are no other cats and you don't try to carry me around too much. I'd really like a family where I could come sit on your laps while you watch TV. and have the independence to be on my own sometimes. Don't you like to have your own space?

If you'd like to meet me, please contact the West Suburban Humane Society, 1901 W. Ogden Ave, Downers Grove, IL, phone number 630-960-9600. http://www.wshs-dg.org/wshs/

Does your dog eat too fast?

If your dog eats too fast, he can be at risk of bloating, which is dangerous for dogs. The Brake-fast bowls help reduce the risk of bloating by making dogs eat slower. Slower eating makes your pet feel full and reduces the instances of “re-eating.” The bowl works with both wet and dry food, has a no-tip shape and is durable and dishwasher safe.
