🍂🐾 When the temps drop, our pets feel it too! The first cold snap can be a big adjustment, especially for small pups, seniors, and short-coated friends.

Here are a few ways to help them transition comfortably into cooler days:

• Adjust walk times ☀️ Midday strolls > chilly early mornings
• Protect those paws 🧤 Wipe after walks + use pet-safe de-icers
• Don’t forget hydration 💧 Pets drink less in cold weather

That’s where Kinn Kleanbowls come in — fresh, odor-free refills encourage pets to drink more often, supporting hydration + healthy immune systems all season long. 🥣💚

A few small tweaks = a smooth, cozy, happy transition into winter.
Stay warm out there, friends. 🐶❄️

🎃🐾 Trick-or-treating may be fun for us, but it can feel downright spooky for pets. From candy bowls to costumes, Halloween night is full of hidden hazards.

Here’s how families and pet care facilities can help pets stay safe and stress-free:
✨ Keep candy (especially chocolate & sugar-free treats) out of paw’s reach.
✨ Choose comfy, simple costumes — or skip them altogether.
✨ Opt for flameless candles & décor that’s safe around curious noses.
✨ Create a quiet retreat away from the doorbell chaos.
✨ Stick to routines — fresh food & water in clean bowls go a long way.

With a little planning, Halloween can be safe, sweet, and stress-free for everyone. 💚🐶🐱

🍂 Fall = cozy nights, colorful leaves… and hidden germs in pet bowls! Here’s why clean bowls matter more now:

Biofilm forms fast (even on “clean” bowls)

Germs thrive in cooler, indoor air

Pets drink less in fall → higher dehydration risk

Allergies + dirty bowls = extra immune stress

💧 Kleanbowl refills = germ-free, compostable, safe hydration every time.

👉 Healthier pets. Fewer vet visits. A cleaner fall for everyone.

Pumpkins, crunchy leaves, cozy walks… fall is full of perks. But for many pets, autumn also brings allergies. Just like us, they can struggle with seasonal triggers — and as caregivers, spotting the signs is key.

✨ Common Fall Triggers:
🌼 Ragweed pollen
🍂 Mold from damp leaves
💨 Dust mites (as heaters kick on)
🏡 Indoor allergens from extra time inside

🐶 Signs Your Pet May Be Struggling:
✔️ Excessive scratching or licking paws
✔️ Red/irritated skin
✔️ Watery eyes, sneezing, or ear infections
✔️ GI upset linked to allergies

💡 How to Help:
🛁 Bathe/brush to remove pollen
🐾 Wipe paws after outdoor play
🛏️ Wash bedding often in hot water
💧 Keep fresh water available

And here’s the overlooked piece: dirty bowls can make allergies worse. Traditional bowls trap germs & biofilm that stress the immune system.

That’s where Kinn Kleanbowl comes in → compostable refills = fresh, germ-free meals + hydration every time. ✅
