Pets Care in Winter: Cold season is going on and now gradually the coldness in the weather is increasing. And in such a situation, everyone has to take special care of their health. Just as we have to protect ourselves from the cold, it is also very important for us to take care of our pets in winter, especially when the temperature drops and the weather changes suddenly. Today we will tell you some effective methods, with the help of which you can keep your pet safe from cold.

dress warmly

Short-haired, elderly or sick pets are especially in need of a sweater or jacket. Dress them warmly before taking them out for a walk.

Keep your sleeping area comfortable and warm

Cold tiles or floors can be harmful to a pet’s health. Place a thick blanket, mattress or quilt in their bed. Keep the bed away from direct drafts.

reduce bathing during cold days

Frequent bathing can dry out their skin. If necessary, bathe them with lukewarm water and dry them immediately. Dry shampoo can also be used.

add heat to food

It is beneficial to increase some nutrition and energy in the pet’s diet in winter. Give lukewarm food so that the body temperature remains balanced. Do not be lazy in drinking water – always give lukewarm/less cold water.

It is necessary to take a walk outside but with caution

Do not keep them outside for too long in extreme cold, fog or wind. Protect their feet from cold ground or snow. Clean and dry their paws when they come home.

skin and hair care

The risk of skin drying increases in winter. Light massage (with coconut/olive oil) increases blood circulation and provides warmth. Brush their coat (fur) regularly.

Special attention to weak or sick pets

Older pets are more likely to suffer from joint pain in the cold. If you notice lethargy, shivering, coughing or loss of appetite, contact the doctor immediately.

Increase activity indoors

In winter, the time to play outside reduces, so play indoor games at home so that they remain active.
