Change of Season, New Routine
W
hile our schedules are busier during the fall months, it's also important that you’re maintaining your pet’s exercise schedule every day, in addition to managing your pet’s diet during the colder weather. Ideally, you should ensure that your dog is exercising twice each day. We recommend that you start your day by taking your dog out for their morning walk, and it’s a great time to include your kids or spouse on the walk too! At nighttime, keep you and your dog safe during your walk by accessorizing them with reflective gear or light-up collars and leashes, and stick to familiar routes in your neighbourhood. It’s important that dogs (and people!) exercise for a minimum of 45 minutes each day.
Staying warm requires extra calories which means that your pet may need more food or you may need to change to a brand that’s more suitable for them. Need assistance? Bring in the bag of food that you’re currently feeding to your neighbourhood Global Pet Foods store for a nutritional assessment.
