Play Dates : Throughout the year , it is important for your pets to have play dates . If you have a monthly or twicemonthly play date for your dog with other canines , it will stimulate their mind and give them something fun and out of the ordinary to do . Visiting and playing with others comes in handy especially when outdoor play is at a winter minimum .
Brighten Your Home : Natural light will help brighten their mood and they get happier when the light is brighter . Make it a daily routine to open your curtains and shades for natural light to come in and help improve your pet ’ s mood . Cats love to look out the window !
