1. Because if you’re cold, they’re probably cold, too.
2. Because dogs can fall ill or even die when left outside in cold temperatures.
3. Because salt, antifreeze, and other chemicals can make dogs sick if they ingest them.
4. Because snow can hide scents and make it more difficult for dogs to find their way back home.

7. Because puppies, elderly dogs, and dogs who are sick cannot tolerate the cold as well as healthy, adult dogs.

9. Because even with a doghouse, straw bedding, food, and water, freezing temperatures can be fatal.
10. Because dogs should be treated as family members.
