Steps given for animals during the winter season

Three main steps can be simply followed for animals to easily survive the winter season, according to a spokesman this week with the humane society. Foremost, animals should always have water before them at all times, if possible. If not, one can keep a bucket of water inside at room temperature and set it out at feeding time. Snow is a substitute for water, however, it takes 10-inches of snow to melt to one inch of water equivalent.

Secondly, it takes about twice as much food for outdoor animals in cold weather, to furnish their energy for survival. Third, animals need shelter of some type. If the animal has an outdoor house, move it on the southside of a larger building or in a sheltered corner of a large building facing the- south, and reverse the procedure in the summer time. Most winter storms come from the north to west and in summer, winds come usually from west to south. Remember - water, food, shelter for winter survival!
