A new year is a fantastic opportunity to kick-start some new healthy habits for both you and your pet. Whether you’re looking to increase your number of training sessions or considering revamping your pet’s diet, discover our top tips for a happier, healthier pet.
Pet Obedience Training
If you’re a dog owner, you’re always going to be looking for ways to make training an enjoyable experience for you both. Pet training doesn’t have to be stressful - and when it’s done correctly, it can be one of the most valuable gifts you can give your pet.
Training builds clear communication, strengthens trust, and helps your dog understand what’s expected in everyday situations. Beyond good behaviour, obedience training boosts your pet’s confidence and deepens the bond you share, creating a happier relationship.
Some quick tips for success are:
Being consistent, using the same verbal cues every time
Rewarding the good behaviour the second it happens.
Always finishing with a success to keep their confidence up.
If the post-festive cabin fever is setting in, try heading to a safe and secure car park after dog walks and practice some recall.
Exercise For Your Pet
As we head into the new year and brighter days are *almost* within touching distance, longer walks are more likely to be on the cards for you and your four legged friend.
By making regular dog walks a New Year goal, you can help to improve your dog’s physical health and provide mental stimulation, while also boosting your own fitness and mood.
This shared time is also another way to strengthen your bond - just make sure you’re armed with waterproof coats and plenty of poo bags for those wintery days out.
When it comes to our feline friends, indoor cats may be more prone to boredom if they don’t have the right equipment. Our 3 in 1 Cat Scratching Post serves as a play centre, nap zone, and scratcher. Perfect for keeping your cat entertained, satisfying their scratching instincts, and saving furniture from potential damage.
Treats For A Healthy Pet Diet
You may be on your best behaviour in January, but we all deserve a little treat now and then. Our pets are always going to have treats in their diet, so now’s the time to consider some healthier alternatives.
Considering healthy treats for your dog goes a long way in both training and building your bond together. When you’re out on a walk, our Dog Walking Bagis perfect for storing some treats your dog loves to reward good behaviour, or again practicing that recall.
Healthy dog treats with natural ingredients include our Steak Bites. These high protein, bite-sized treats are perfect for training, rewarding good behaviour, or simply spoiling your dog with a delicious snack.
When it comes to rewarding your cat, quality over quantity is the golden rule. Healthy cat treats should prioritise high-quality animal proteins, like ourFreeze Dried Treats.Made with 100% real meat, the freeze-drying process locks in nutrients to help your moggy feel their best.
