MOST of us enjoy the snowy, winter wonderland but for our pets it’s important they are looked after, especially in this weather and here are some of the things you should look out for.

The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice which includes Monmouthshire. Storm Goretti is underway estimated to bring snowfall from 5pm and could continue to snow until the following morning.

The yellow weather warning suggests Storm Goretti is likely to bring heavy snow fall leading to disruption and difficult travelling conditions.

The RSPCA has given advice to ensure pets are kept safe and comforted during this weather.

You know your pet better than anyone, so understanding and paying attention to their usual behaviour is important especially when it comes to different weather conditions.

In winter conditions pets may want to curl up in places in your home, sitting on blankets or in places which bring them warmth.

They might also become less likely to go outside due to the cooler weather they may want to stay close to their owner for comfort and relaxation.

It is also common that they will shiver when they have been in lower temperatures for a longer period of time. Due to trying to keep their warm body temperature they might not be eating or drinking as regularly but due to staying in dry, heated environments this could lead to dehydration so it is important to keep an eye on them.
