Pet Tip of the Month - March

The snow and cold might be starting to give us a bit of a break with slightly warmer day temperatures, but this is still not the weather for cats to be let out. These animals are small and will lose body heat in a very short period of time. The City of Timmins Dog/Cat By-law sets out a fine for cats and dogs at large but, even without that, it only makes sense that if you are tucked up warm in your house, your pets should be too.
