New Year’s resolutions for you and your pets

With every New Year comes a new resolution, so why not make one that will benefit your pets as well? We’ve picked some New Year’s resolutions for you to make that will benefit your four-legged friend’s health and keep their tails wagging.

Get more active

Getting more active is a resolution we all fall guilty of making and not sticking to. Instead of forcing yourself to go to an over-crowded, sweaty gym why not take your doggy on more walks? You could even take them for a jog or a run. There’s thousands of parks and beaches across the country, so your walks, jogs and runs don’t have to be boring.

Measure their food correctly

Instead of just freely pouring your pets food into their bowl, try to measure out your pets food out every meal time. If you overfeed your pet they can become overweight, leading to further health problems, which is not what you want for your furry friend.

Vet Visits

Taking regular trips to the vet is very important for your cats and dogs. People often think our fur-babies only need to visit the vet when they’re really sick, but they do actually need annual check-ups just as much as humans do. Regular trips to the vets will ensure your pets are kept healthy and happy all the time.

Get grooming

Grooming is a necessity, especially for long-haired pets, as their long hair can get knotted which can be painful to brush out. Brushing your long-haired pussycats and pooches will also help to distribute oils along their fur, keeping their coat nice and shiny. Plus, they will love all the attention from their grooming session.

Are you going to make any of these your New Year’s resolutions? Or have you got any other resolutions you’re going to make to for your pets? Let us know on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Here’s to a purrfect 2018!

How to Give a Cat a Pill (Without Getting Scratched): A Step-by-Step Medication Guide

Key Takeaway: Traditional methods of giving a cat a pill, such as scruffing, prying open their jaw, and forcing it down, often fail. And they can also create lasting anxiety around handling and mealtimes. Masking the pill’s structure and strong medicinal scent inside a thick, aromatic puree is a far more effective approach. This method […]

No Teeth, No Appetite? Best Food Toppers, Soft Treats, and Hydration Tricks for Cats

Key Takeaway: Sick, senior, or toothless cats often need a highly tailored approach to eating and drinking. Liquid purees and moisture-rich food toppers eliminate the oral pain and choking risk associated with hard foods.

Crates, Cars, and Thunderstorms: A Complete Guide to Soothing an Anxious Cat

Key Takeaway: Easing acute anxiety in your cat comes down to two things working together: a secure, enclosed space to withdraw to, and positive behavioural conditioning that builds calmer associations over time. Cats are creatures of habit and control. Loud noises, unfamiliar movement, confinement, or travel can all disrupt that sense of predictability and trigger […]
