American Pet Products Association Announces Products to Help Pets This Winter
With the temperatures dropping, pet owners should be ready as the weather changes from cold to freezing
STAMFORD, Conn., Dec. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The American Pet Products Association (APPA) wants pet owners to keep their pets warm and safe this winter. This season means freezing temperatures, harsh conditions and fewer daylight hours. With temperatures dropping, pet owners should take extra precautions to protect their pets from the cold as the weather can cause itchy, chapped paws or worse, lead to hypothermia and frostbite. Additionally, Daylight Savings means many pet owners will have to walk their pets in the dark so staying safe under these conditions should be a priority. Below is a round-up of products manufactured by APPA members designed to help pets enjoy the winter season safely.
Keep your pet warm during walks with the Apus Coat by Pac & Lucia. This stylish reversible coat is water resistant, lined with faux lambswool, comes with adjustable Velcro closings and machine washable. Apus means "spirit of the mountains" in Quechua, the language from the Inca Empire. Plus, the orange color makes it easy for people to see pets in dark conditions.
