Doggie, it’s cold outside: Pa. has rules to follow for taking care of your pets in winter

Under Pennsylvania’s Libre’s Law, dogs may be tied outside for no more than 30 minutes when temperatures are lower than 32 degrees.

Pennsylvania’s Libre’s Law

Never shave your dog down to the skin in winter, as a longer coat will provide more warmth. If your dog is long-haired, trim him to minimize the clinging ice balls, salt crystals and de-icing chemicals that can dry his skin, and don’t neglect the hair between his toes. If your dog is short-haired, consider getting him a coat or sweater.

Bathe your pets as little as possible during cold spells, and consider use of a moisturizing shampoo and/or rinse. Like coolant, antifreeze is a lethal poison for dogs and cats. Be sure to thoroughly clean up any spills from your vehicle, and consider using products that contain propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol.
