Happy 2016!
The new
year is a time to set some new goals, make some changes in your life and such
but, don’t forget about including your pets in these changes! Talk about a
great way to bond with your fur babies! Create these goals so they include your
pet and improve the both of you! Trust me, we like to be involved in EVERYTHING
you humans do! I did some research during my down time at the office and
stumbled upon a list of the Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions for Your Pet (and
you). I happen to love all of the ideas so I thought my readers would as well.
#10. Measure your
Pets Food (and yours I suppose!) It is so easy to over feed your pets (and
yourself) so measuring out all servings is a great way to control portions. You
don’t want to be consuming too many calories. That’s how we get plump!
#9. Choose an Age
Appropriate Diet. Make sure the diet you are feeding is formulated to give
your pet all the nutrients necessary. Ya’know, they do have puppy, kitten and
adult specific diets for a reason! Read,
read and read! Do your research about what diet is best for your pet and of
course consult with Doc Ellis for his suggestions.
#8. Try Something
New! How about a new activity or adventure for you and your pet?! Seek out
new hiking trails, try a training class together, find fun interactive games to
play at home, the possibilities are endless my friends! This keeps everyone
active and healthy and even strengthens your bond with your fur babies.
#7. Incorporate More
Playtimes. I know I know, everyone is crazy busy but you can do it! Even if
adding an extra ten minutes here and there is better than nothing. Try some simple,
quick games, a walk, play with a favorite toy, whatever you want! Just make
more time to bond with your babies.
#6. Make a Date with
Your Veterinarian. There is no better way to start off the year then with a
visit to the doctor. This applies to humans and pets of course! Get some
routine blood work done, update vaccines, discuss preventive care, discuss diet
(#9 and #10 come into play here) and address any concerns you may have. Just
make sure everyone is on the right path to a healthy new year!
If you ask me, those are
Purrfect tips to starting the New Year right and we are only half way there!
Tune in next week to hear the top 5 on the list!
