24 Protect Plus Says, 'Prepare Pets for Winter Climes!'

Norwalk, Conn. (PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -- 24ProtectPlus (SM) (http://www.24protectplus-program.com), a premier security program offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC (http://www.adaptivemarketing.com/ap9/24protect-plus.asp), knows that for many, pets are truly part of the family. From dogs to cats to tropical fish -- and many other living creatures in between -- most domesticated pets may need some extra life lessons and a few pointers, especially heading into the winter months.

While few people will doubt an animal's loyalty and strength of character, pets do need direction, notes AP9 24ProtectPlus (http://ap9consumergateway.typepad.com/ap9_weblog/2006/10/ap9_24_protect_.html). And although 19th century novelist Mary Ann Evans (best known by her pen name, "George Eliot") was no doubt barking up the right tree when she wrote, "Animals are such agreeable friends they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms," she would likely agree that even the most intelligent pet can't read a thermometer or go online to check the latest forecast. For that, pets decidedly need the "human touch."

That's why 24 Protect Plus (http://www.24protectplus-program.com/24ProtectPlus_ResourceCenter.html) wants to provide these helpful tips and hints as winter fast approaches -- just in case your pets have been too busy living the "life of Riley" to notice those changing weather patterns:

- Dress 'em up in style. Winter can be tough enough on people, and surprisingly, winter temperatures can do a number on our four-legged friends too. Just because dogs and cats have fur, it doesn't mean they can sit outside in the cold for that long. They can't. Sweaters for dogs and cats are all the rage these days, so consider decking out those canine and feline pals in animal outerwear. Not only will they look "cool," but staying warm will also protect their hair from harsh winds and chemicals.

- Don't drink the water. Better yet, keep pets far away from liquids that look like water. Antifreeze, for example, hangs out in the garage and driveway just waiting to be lapped up.

- When in doubt ? let 'em in. Most cats like to spend the winter months indoors, but some like fresh air too. Try not to leave cats outside in the cold too long, though. If they can't get back inside to get toasty, they may resort to ducking into a warm car engine. And that's sure to cost them all nine lives.

- That's a fine kettle of fish. When winter hits, take steps to keep fish tanks clean and change the water regularly. And keep an eye on the water temperature, too, making sure that it is as close as possible to what the fish was used to in his/her "former life." While pet fish may seem independent, like most domestic pets, they can be "dead in the water" without you.

So show those pets some love this winter. And take heed of these safety-minded messages from 24Protect Plus (http://privacymatters.mygreatdeals.com).
