As we are starting to embrace those icy winds and colder weather, it is important to consider your pet’s wellbeing during these cooler months. Here are a few helpful tips to get you through:

•Regular Health checks - Older pets are more vulnerable in the colder weather causing problems such as arthritis to flare up. There are many management options available, Lexie here recently started on one option 4cyte and she is feeling fantastic!

•Warm Comfy Beds and Jackets

•Diet - Avoid overfeeding pets in the cooler months, particularly if they are less active.

•Exercise - Even when it's cold outside to help prevent gaining those extra kilos and putting more pressure on arthritic joints.

•Grooming - Even though it’s cool, it's still important to maintain good coat hygiene to prevent skin problems and matting.
