Get Moving
As a dedicated pet owner, you know that overall wellness hinges on proper nutrition and regular exercise. However, physical exertion can be a tough sell during the winter months. A wonderful holiday pet gift might be the addition of a DIY agility course (don’t forget to gear up before heading outside!). Physical exercise and mental stimulation make for a truly excellent pet gift, and certain elements can be moved inside during frosty temperatures.
If your fancy feline isn’t keen on training, the installation of ramps, cubes, and other challenging climbing options are enough to elicit enthusiastic purrs. Your senior cat might also enjoy a ramp or staggered, wall-mounted steps that lead to a cozy perch or window seat.
Adios, Cold!
There’s no end in sight to these frigid nights, but there is a wealth of cozy bedding options for your pet. Although your pet is probably very attached to his or her aging grey bed, pillow, or blanket, offering a self-warming or heated bed is still the cat’s pajamas! Not only is it comforting for a puppy or kitten, a supportive bed can also soothe injury or age-related pain and discomfort.
The Best Gift of All
If your pet doesn’t really want for anything, this time of year provides ample opportunities to make a difference in the lives of shelter animals. In lieu of a gift – and in honor of your pet – consider making a monetary donation to your local rescue or shelter. You can also put on your community philanthropy hat to procure food, blankets, bedding, and toys for animals in need. Likewise, fostering a pet during the holidays will not only free up much-needed space, it may also add a great deal of happiness to your home.
