Remember to take extra precauations to protect your pet against cold related injuries during this brutally cold weather.
Limit outside time.
Dress them in a warm coat & boots if possible.
Their natural fur coat won't be enough to protect against the bitter cold.

When you work out, are you doing too much or not enough? There’s a simple way to know: Your target heart rate

If your heart rate is too high, you’re straining. If it's too low, you may want to push yourself a little harder, especially if you’re trying to lose weight.

Feeling stressed? Take a break from your routine and look into a new hobby, or pick up when you put down when life got hectic.

What’s your go-to hobby for lowering stress?

Stigma around substance use disorders is one of the biggest barriers to treatment and recovery. You can help support someone who might be looking for substance use disorder treatment, but might not be sure how to ask for help: https://t.co/5crCnnm3xR

Getting winter-ready includes pets, too! When it’s cold, bring pets indoors.

If you cannot bring them inside, provide adequate shelter to keep them warm and make sure they have access to unfrozen water. Keep pets safe in winter weather.

#Hypothermia and #frostbite can happen when prolonged exposure to cold causes the body to lose heat faster than it can produce it. Protect yourself when temperatures drop by taking steps to prevent hypothermia and frostbite: https://t.co/1IA0fsrnGV

[Cambridge Fire Dept. @CambridgeMAFire]

New Englanders know the drill!
Dress for our cold & windy, winter weather.
Limit outside time, if possible.
Check on the kids, older folks, & pets to prevent cold-related injury.

Don’t forget about your furry friends this winter. If you’re cold, chances are, your pets are too. Remember to keep them indoors when temperatures drop, care for your pet’s feet, provide extra food and water and use a leash when walking near bodies of water.
