🐾 How Time Changes Affect Your Pets ⏰
When we “fall back” or “spring forward,” our furry friends don’t understand why breakfast or walk time suddenly feels off! 🐶🐱 Time changes can disrupt their routine and internal clock just like ours.
Here’s what can happen 👇
🐕 Disrupted routine: Pets rely on regular times for meals, walks, and sleep. A sudden shift can confuse them.
🐾 Confusion & anxiety: They might pace, bark more, have accidents, or seem extra needy.
😴 Behavior changes: Waking up too early, being restless at night, or eating at odd times.
🌞 Internal clock reset: Pets have circadian rhythms influenced by light and daily habits time changes can throw those off temporarily.
💡 How to Help Your Pet Adjust:
🕒 Shift gradually: Move feeding and walk times by 10–15 minutes each day leading up to the change.
💖 Extra comfort: Offer patience, cuddles, and reassurance while they adapt.
📅 Stay consistent: Stick to the new schedule pets thrive on routine!
💊 Vet tip: If your pet takes meds, check with your vet about adjusting times safely.
