5 Practical Tips to Keep Your Pets Healthy and Warm during this winter
Know How to Keep Your Pets Healthy and Warm – In winter, an excessively cold environment can greatly threaten your pet’s health and longevity. So, taking care of their nutritional needs and what clothes they are wearing is very important.
By taking a few precautions and paying attention to them, we can also make this winter season enjoyable for them.
Following are the tips you can try –
- Exercising – Keeping them active in this chill weather by making them exercise or playing with them can do a lot to keep them healthy. You can go for a short walk with them to keep them active. Also, playing will help them stay energized for the whole day.
- Cold feet – Checking and cleaning the ice formed in their feet by going outside will also help them. So, make sure to clean their feet with warm water and salt.
- Feeding – Pets need extra energy to play and exercise in winter, so you should give them more food than you give in summer. For example, dogs need 25 % more energy to exercise outdoors in winter. There are many food options, like pedigree and whiskas, that you can give them to fulfill their nutritional requirements.
- Cleaning and grooming regularly – In winter, make sure to groom your pet completely, as it is crucial to keep them warm. For that, you can use a good dryer and towel. Also, you can try dry bathing your pet by brushing corn starch or baby powder on their coat instead of giving them a water bath.
- Overweight – Keeping your pet fit and healthy by fulfilling its nutritional needs is very important, as overweight pets are more likely to suffer from injury than those of normal weight. To maintain their weight, you can create an exercise routine.
Keeping your pet hydrated is crucial, as winters are very dry for them. Also, if your pet has any joint discomfort, you can put a thick blanket in its bed for comfort and warmth. (Tips to Keep Your Pets Healthy)
Checking the frostbite if your pet is mostly outside in cold weather is important as the signs of that might not appear immediately.
Do give special care if your dog is older or has some serious health conditions like hormonal imbalance, heart disease or diabetes, as they can’t control their body temperature and fall sick.
