Happy New Year! Do you have a canine companion? If so, why not include your pup in your New Year’s resolutions? This is a perfect time to revisit your pet care regimen, and see if anything could be improved. A local vet offers a few ‘pawsible’ options in this article from Fairfield Animal Hospital, your Cy-Fair animal clinic. 

Provide Enrichment

Dogs are both curious and playful, and they really enjoy and benefit from playtime. Make sure your pooch has lots of playthings! It’s also important to clean Fido’s things out regularly, and replace them when they get worn. Get some fun things for yourself as well! 

Get Fit

Fitness goals are very popular resolutions, and they really are great goals for both people and pets! Fido will be more than happy to help you meet this goal. Walk your furry friend every day, and explore new places with him. Dogs make great hiking buddies!

Relax

Dogs can be both a source of comfort and a source of information. 2020 was a very trying year. It’s important to remember to take time to just unwind and relax. Your pooch will be more than happy to doze off with you, or just sprawl out at your feet.

Pay Attention To Health

Proper health care is important for both you and Fido. Make sure to take your furry buddy to the vet regularly. Exams, vaccines, and parasite control will all help keep your dog healthy. Keep up with your own appointments as well.

Have Fun

This is one that we know our four-legged buddies are more than happy to help with! Dogs are super cute when they are feeling playful. Fido will be more than happy to accompany you on some fun excursions this year.

Eat Well

Your pooch won’t have any trouble getting on board with this one! If there’s one thing that our canine buddies love, it’s food. Choose nourishing, delicious foods for both yourself and your pup. Snacks are fine, but don’t go overboard with fatty treats. 

Be Loyal

Another great lesson we can learn from dogs is the value of loyalty. Fido is extremely devoted to his human pals. Dogs’ unconditional love is a truly special gift! Stand by those who have been good to you.
