If you know me well, you know I am SO ready for Fall!
Here are 5 ways to get your pets ready for Fall, too:
1. Refresh Flea and Tick Protection🐾:
- Even as temperatures drop, fleas and ticks remain active. Ensure your pet’s flea and tick prevention is up to date or use an all natural preventative spray to keep them safe from these pests during fall walks and outdoor play.
2. Enhance Their Diet with Seasonal Foods🎃:
- Fall brings nutritious seasonal foods like pumpkin and sweet potatoes, which can be added to your pet’s diet. These foods are rich in vitamins and fiber, supporting digestion and overall health as the seasons change.
3. Prepare for Cooler Weather🧥:
- As the weather cools, your pet may need extra warmth, especially during outdoor activities. Consider investing in a pet sweater or jacket, particularly for short-haired breeds, and ensure their bedding is cozy for chilly nights.
4. Grooming for Seasonal Changes 🪮:
- Fall is a prime time for shedding as your pet transitions to their winter coat. Regular brushing helps manage shedding, reduces matting, and keeps their coat in top condition.
- Add high quality salmon oil to their diet to help reduce shedding.
5. Adjust Exercise Routines 🕓: With shorter days and cooler temperatures, you might need to adjust your pet’s exercise routine. Consider taking walks earlier in the day when it’s warmer, and incorporate indoor play to keep them active and engaged.
