FAQs
What are the main safety threats to pets in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania’s beautiful outdoors can pose some risks for pets, especially during winter. Cold temperatures and snowy conditions can lead to frostbite and hypothermia, so keep your pets bundled up with sweaters and booties. Be cautious of chemical de-icers on sidewalks—they can irritate paws and cause stomach issues if licked. Always rinse your pet’s paws after winter walks to keep them safe.
Another concern is Lyme disease, as Pennsylvania has a high tick population, especially blacklegged ticks. These tiny pests can carry the disease, so check your pet regularly, focusing on areas like ears and between toes. Using preventative tick medications, removing ticks properly and keeping your yard tidy are key to prevention!

How can I protect my pet from hawks and other birds of prey in Pennsylvania?
Supervise small pets when outdoors, especially in open areas. Just being near your pet can be a deterrent for birds of prey.
In the event you can not supervise your pet when they’re outside, consider placing them in a hawk protection vest, a protective garment designed to shield small pets from birds of prey, featuring spikes or bright colors to deter attacks. You can find these vests available for purchase on sites like Amazon or Coyote Vest, and pricing can range from around $60 to $100. You can also consider installing sheltered enclosures to keep your furry friend safe.
