FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A Word From... Dr. C.A. Heller III DVM
Winter Time Injuries
One thing all pet owners dread is having their pets hit by a car. The types of injuries
that often result are devastating. It is not uncommon to see broken bones, internal
organ injury and even death.
As a pet health care provider, I have noticed certain times of the year in which
we see more of these injuries. The recent change to cold wet and snowy precipitation
is one of these times. The reason for this is that we humans do not like to go out
in the cold. It is very easy to fall into the habit of letting our pets out by themselves.
Try and always avoid doing this. All pets are by nature curious and when left out
alone they will tend to investigate their surroundings. This results in them leaving
their yard and possibly getting injured.
Please remember to always take your pets out on a leash. This will go along way
to preventing any unexpected trauma.
Have a good winter season!
Sincerely,
C.A. Heller III, DVM
