The Coffeyville area has been hit with a cold snap and people with pets need to keep an eye on their animals to protect them from the cold when letting them out.

Coffeyville Friends of Animal's Becky Barnhart gives a few tips on how to take care of your animal during the cold weather.

Barnhart says the best place for your pet is inside but, if you must leave them outside, you need to provide at least the very basics.

Overall, it just takes common sense to care for your animal during this time of year. The best advice that can be used is if it's too cold for you, it's too cold for them.
