The new year is coming, have you started setting new year's goals? Don't forget, you should also plan some new goals for your furry kids, review your past feeding habits, and see where you can make some small changes to make your furry kids live healthier and happier lives. Here are 10 specific action suggestions, hoping that everyone can join hands with their furry kids to welcome a better year.
1. Schedule a health check-up
Remember to take your furry child for a health check-up in the new year so that potential health problems can be discovered in advance. Don't forget to brush their teeth and take basic care measures at home.
2. Increase exercise
Exercise is important for your furry child's physical and mental health. For dogs, taking a daily walk, playing fetch, or trying a new sport can help them stay healthy. Cats also need exercise. You can usually use a cat teaser to play hunting games with them, or train cats to wear a harness to go out for a walk. These methods of exercise can keep them active.
3. Improve living environment
Not only exercise, but also a rich living environment can strengthen their mental health. For example, dogs can use slow feed bowls or hide and seek treat toys to enhance brainstorming while eating, while cats can prepare cat jumping platform, climbing frames or windowsills to give them more vertical space to move around and avoid boredom.
4. Big upgrade of toys
Playing with toys is not only entertainment, but also promotes physical and mental health. In the new year, you might as well buy a few new toys for them, and remember to replace them regularly to keep them fresh and let them enjoy their playtime more.
5. Adjust diet formula
As your furry child ages, his or her dietary needs will also change. It is recommended to choose appropriate feed or health products based on the age, lifestyle and health status of your furry child. You can also consult your veterinarian to find the most suitable diet plan.
6. Pay attention to beauty care
Regular beauty care not only keeps your furry child looking clean and tidy, but also helps keep their skin healthy and avoid problems such as hair loss and tangled hair. Don't forget to trim your nails and clean your ears as part of your maintenance.
7. Prepare for emergencies
Prepare a pet first aid kit, know the location of nearby animal hospitals, and create a disaster evacuation plan just in case.
8. Create a safe home environment
Check your home for dangerous items, such as food or plants that are poisonous to pets. At the same time, it is also necessary to evaluate whether the furry child's resting area is safe and comfortable enough. Cat litter boxes, dog beds and other items should also be comprehensively inspected and adjusted.
9. Adjust care according to age
Older furry kids may need extra care. For example, more frequent health check-ups may be required, and the home may need stairs, slopes, or litter boxes with low entrances.
10. Have the courage to speak up for pet
furry kids cannot speak to express their discomfort or troubles, which requires careful observation by the owner and the courage to consult a veterinarian or behavioral trainer to help them relieve their discomfort and pain.
Every small change can bring more happiness to your furry child. Start setting your furkid New Year's resolutions now!
