Dogs & cats · Everyday care

Adjust daily care as the seasons change

Keep routines steady while adapting the environment.

Brush loose hair, keep bedding clean and dry, and adjust shelter and walking times to your pet and the weather. Keep fresh water available and avoid hot walks or leaving a pet in a parked car.

Review food storage and bowl hygiene. Discuss parasite prevention for your location and lifestyle with your veterinarian rather than relying on the calendar alone.
