RESOLUTION #5 – Start a pet savings account<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just as parents save money for their children to go to college, pet owners should start a special account just for pet-related expenses down the road. Having some extra cash will ensure that you never have to compromise when it comes to getting your pet the best care possible.<\/p>\n

RESOLUTION #4 – Update their tags<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

No pet owner ever wants to be in a situation where their pet has wandered away. But you can at least be sure that they will be returned to you as quickly as possible by keeping their pet ID up to date.\u00a0If ANY of your contact information has changed… don\u2019t wait \u2014 update their tags and microchip information today! <\/a>It\u2019s the best way to ensure a lost pet makes their way home safely.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

RESOLUTION #3 – Measure their food<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Make your pet\u2019s health one of your biggest priorities going into the New Year. Part of this involves paying close attention to how much food you give them. Too many owners,\u00a0\u2018eyeball\u2019 their pet\u2019s daily intake and pour that into a bowl, usually resulting in overfeeding and weight gain.\u201d \u00a0Using a measuring cup to ensure your pet gets just the right amount of food is the best way to go to keep them at their optimal weight and healthy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

RESOLUTION #2 – Make time to play<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Your pet undoubtedly loves you and loves spending time with you. Make it a priority to play with them more next year. We often have good intentions when it comes to making time to play. But we don\u2019t always do it. Carve out certain hours of your week that can be devoted entirely to playing with your pet. It will give them some much-needed exercise, and will provide you both with some crucial one-on-one time.<\/p>\n

Play with your Yapper. It’s good for both of you<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

RESOLUTION #1 – Set up Playdates<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Resolve to bring more joy into your pet\u2019s life easier next year. One easy way is by setting up pet play dates. Call up a friend with a similarly size pet and get together at a nearby park. Interaction with other animals is great for your pet\u2019s mental health, and can help vastly improve their social skills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
