RESOLUTIONS ARE GOING TO THE DOGS
What’s Your Pet’s NewYear’s Resolution?
TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS Studies show mental stimulation can help reduce cognitive deterioration in pets and people! Even old pets can enjoy new games, and the mental stimulation helps keep their brains healthy. Buy a new toy, introduce food puzzles, or take new routes on your daily walks. Playtime can help your old dog feel like a puppy again.
The start of a new year means it’s the season of New Year’s resolutions. Now’s the time to break bad habits and pick up better ones, and humans aren’t the only ones who can benefit from making resolutions. Here are a few New Year’s resolutions Emma and I have been thinking about. GET HEALTHY TOGETHER When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, most humans focus on their health, vowing to eat better and exercise more. Your pets can benefit from the same resolutions! Regular playtimes make for great exercise, and if your pet is a little chubby, it’s time to talk to your vet about a sustainable weight-loss program. Besides, isn’t sticking to resolutions easy when you have a fitness buddy? MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR VET A pinch of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Dogs generally see vets twice a year for check-ups, which is recommended. Meanwhile, cats can go years between vet visits, and usually, they don’t go in until something terrible happens. Regular check-ups can help you catch red flags in advance, so it pays to be proactive with your vet visits.
The new year is a great time for you and your pets to start making better habits together. Here’s to an excellent 2019!
