❄️ Winter Storm Alert: Bulldog Safety 🐾

Bulldogs are indoor companion dogs and do not live outdoors. During winter storms and freezing temperatures, keep Bulldogs inside, warm, and safe at all times.

• Limit outdoor trips to brief potty breaks in these freezing temperatures
• Consider using a coat, sweater or booties if going outside
• Wipe paws and belly after exposure to snow, ice and ice melt salt
• Watch for hazardous antifreeze, ice salt or other chemicals.
• Avoid frozen lakes, ponds, and icy areas

Reminder: Bulldogs rarely tolerate extreme cold and harsh winter conditions. When storms hit, their safest place is indoors with their people. ❤️
