Turn Up the Fun When Winter Blues Set In
C older weather is here and with shorter days , both humans and pets can get a case of the wintertime blues . No need to fret , worry , pace or line the house with sunlamps . There are things pet parents can do in the name of pets to keep them in tip-top mental and physical shape as winter envelops us . So , how can we keep our pets safe and happy during this time ?
Exercise : Have you seen how busy gyms are this time of year ? We make our New Year ’ s resolutions and take to treadmills and workout machines . The same can apply to our pets . Try some indoor activity such as chasing your pets from room to room . You can also run up and down the steps a few times . For older pets , or those with vision problems , hold a treat in one hand and allow them to roam with you from room to room . Movement is good , muscles stay active and dogs will not get bored .
