Cold weather can be hard on pets, especially those with short fur or health conditions. To keep your pet warm and comfortable, provide a cozy indoor space, limit time outside during extreme cold, and consider using pet-friendly jackets for walks.

If your pet shows signs of discomfort, such as shivering or reluctance to go outside, it’s important to adjust their environment to protect them from the cold. Warm bedding and extra layers can help prevent health issues related to the chill.

Schedule a winter check-up with us to ensure your pet is prepared for the season.

It might be cold outside, but your pet still needs regular exercise to stay healthy. Whether it’s brisk walks, indoor play, or fun training sessions, staying active helps prevent obesity and keeps your pet’s mind engaged.

Even short bursts of exercise can make a big difference in maintaining your pet’s fitness and preventing boredom. Consider interactive toys or creating an indoor obstacle course for days when it’s too cold to venture outside.

The holidays are a time for celebration, but they also bring potential dangers for pets. Items like tinsel, holiday plants, and chocolate can be harmful if ingested. Decorations and cords also pose risks for curious pets who may be tempted to explore.

To keep your furry friend safe, make sure hazardous items are out of reach, and remind guests to avoid feeding your pet table scraps. A little caution can go a long way in ensuring a stress-free holiday for both you and your pet.
