⏰ Spring Forward – How Time Change Affects Pets!
Daylight Saving Time on March 10 means we lose an hour of sleep—but did you know it can also affect your pet?
Pets thrive on routine, and a sudden shift in feeding, bathroom breaks, or medication schedules can cause stress. To help them adjust:
✔️ Gradually shift mealtimes by 10-15 minutes each day.
✔️ Keep bedtime and walks consistent.
✔️ Watch for signs of stress like restlessness or whining.
