❄️ Winter Conditioning ❄️
With shorter days and colder temperatures, outdoor activities may dwindle. However, keeping your dog active is vitally important for their overall health and wellbeing.
Our Top Tips 🐾
There are plenty of ways to keep your dog active indoors, activities such as: tug-of-war, fetch in a hallway, or even setting up an indoor obstacle course can provide the physical exercise they need.
Create a routine ✅
Shorter, more frequent walks might be preferable on colder days, keeping in mind your dog's comfort and health.
Include mental enrichment 🧠
Alongside physical conditioning, enrichment is equally important during winter. Dogs are intelligent and thrive on mental stimulation. Activities such as puzzle toys or scent games by hiding treats around the house for pup to find, stimulates their natural instincts and provides a fun challenge.
Practice snow safety ⛄️
Many dogs love playing in the snow, so consider taking them for a romp in a safe, snow-covered area. Some breeds do feel the cold more than others, so be sure to add a coat and boots if yours is more sensitive.
There are countless ways to ensure your dog enjoys winter as much as you, with a mix of indoor and outdoor games and activities.
Remember, a well-exercised and mentally stimulated dog is a happy dog, no matter the weather! 🐶
