Vets advise bringing outdoor dogs inside when temperatures drop, providing shelter, food, and non frozen water, and keeping cats indoors to avoid antifreeze risk. Large animals need wind and rain shelter, with group housing favored for warmth. Regular checks on newborns and careful signs of frostbite or hypothermia in pets, with prompt veterinary care if symptoms appear.
