January and February are the coldest months in Georgia, so it’s important to keep our furry friends happy and warm as temperatures drop. Here’s what you need to know about keeping your pet warm, snug and safe this winter season:

• Pick up a new coat, sweater or boots to keep your companion warm on outings.

• Provide a cozy place to sleep with plenty of blankets.
