New Years Resolutions for Pets

New Year’s Resolutions for Your Pets

Is there anyone out there who is the perfect pet owner? There are always things that can be done to improve our animal companion’s lives. Perfection may not be possible, but there are certainly things to do that will help your pets. Take time to reflect about the important role pets play in your family’s lives. What can you do to make your animal companions happier and healthier? These simple resolutions can add years to your pet’s lives.

Here is our list of New Year’s Resolutions for your pets:
• I resolve to feed the healthiest food possible to my pets. Pet Pantry Warehouse offers a wide variety of quality foods with a range of pricing. Come in and speak with our trained staff about your choices. If you’ve been feeding the same food for over a year, it’s time to switch!
• I resolve to take walks with my dog every day – rain or shine, snow or ice. Your dog will never say “no” to a walk. Dogs crave new scents and sounds so mix it up everyday – explore new routes and find new dog-friendly parks.
• I resolve to learn more about vaccines so I can make better, educated decisions when faced with the “Vaccine Reminder” postcards from the vet.
• I resolve to teach my dog and my cat new tricks. Mental stimulation is so important for your pets. Search online for easy pet tricks. Youtube is loaded with videos of fun tricks, all being taught motivationally. Cats are as trainable as dogs with reward-based training techniques.
• I resolve to play with my pets. Dogs love toys. Pick up all the toys around the house and introduce something new or different each day. Get your cat up and moving. There are so many good interactive cat toys that will put your cat into “hunting” mode.

2011 is going to be a great year. Enjoy and appreciate your pets all year.
