With all kinds of closures and delays being reported already, a lot of people are making their way home to pack up, stay warm and hunker down. However, when you get there, don't forget about those other family members -- your Pets animals. Preparations for the cold weather have already been taken care of at the Amarillo Zoo, and one expert says the same safety strategy should also be taken by every pet owner. "If they're outdoor animals, just make sure they either have a heated place to go, or bed them down -- make sure they have extra bedclothes.
They can only take so much of intense temperatures so take precaution," said Rhonda Votino. Temperature sensitive animals at the zoo were brought indoors and Votino says regardless of how much it snows, there will always be someone there to make sure the animals are well-taken care of, and that they have copiousness of food and fresh water. "You want to make sure they're healthy and that you provide the best that you can for them. That includes their well-being during extreme weather -- making sure they have proper Animals shelter, heaters or whatever it takes to make sure that they have a contented life."
