In this weather, you must keep your pet in an area where the temperature and protection is such that you could stay there comfortably. Place a bed, some blankets or a comforter in a laundry room, on the kitchen floor or in a heated garage. Check with your vet to learn if your pet may need extra food to keep warm during the winter. You are legally responsible for the care of your pet. If you see an animal in distressing circumstances, call the police and file a concerned citizen report.
