Winter Pet Care Guide: Keeping Your Cats and Dogs Warm and Cozy

Worried about your furry friends this winter?

Let's dive into some simple tips to keep them comfy and healthy.

Keeping Pets Warm

  • Warm Sleeping Spots: Move their bed away from drafts. Add a cosy blanket.
  • Clothing for Pets: Got a short-haired or older pet? A little jumper might help, especially outside.
  • Indoor Fun: Less outdoor time? Make sure they get plenty of indoor exercise.

Skin and Hydration

  • Moisturise: Winter air = dry skin. Use pet-safe moisturisers.
  • Hydration: Always have water available. Dehydration can sneak up in winter.

Choosing the Right Dog Food

  • High-Quality Protein: Supports muscle health. Check those labels.
  • Age and Weight: Pick food that matches your pet's needs.
  • Avoid Additives: Steer clear of artificial stuff and fillers.
