An article in 2019 on Cleveland.com (Ohio which has sub-freezing temperatures more often than here in Georgia), gave tips from veterinarians on how to keep pets safe in life-threatening cold weather. These tips can be useful here in Georgia this weekend when overnight temperatures in the local area are expected to drop into the low 20s overnight Friday and Saturday.
