Love them or hate them, creating New Year’s resolutions can motivate you to achieve your goals. If you need some inspiration for your decisions, look no further than your furry friends. How to make this new year the best yet for your pet?
Here are five New Year’s resolutions for pet owners that will create peaceful changes in your household this year and strengthen the relationship between you and your pet.
Create (and stick to) a daily routine
Start 2025 off on the right foot by creating a reliable daily routine for your pet if you don’t already have one. This routine should include meal times, potty breaks (for our canine friends), daily care and playtime sessions. Pets thrive when there is structure in their household, and a daily routine helps you plan your day as well, removing unnecessary stress for all parties involved.
Continue with your pet’s hygiene
Our pets are great at grooming, but they need a little help from their humans. Remember: they don’t have opposable thumbs! As pet parents, commit to regularly performing the following hygiene tasks:
Plan your pet’s 2025 calendar
Before you know it, it will be time to restore your pet vaccines or reserve a pet sitting for your upcoming vacation. As much as you can, reserve your pet vet appointment and keepers on vacation as soon as you remember to prevent last-minute delays or expired vet records. You’ll pat yourself on the back – we promise!
Invest in training
The New Year is a great excuse to teach your pet new tricks. Whether you apply for a group training or want to try your hand training at home, learning new skills is great for all levels of pet mental ability. Teach your cat that play fetch or teach your dog about it nose job.
Give your pet new experiences
The only thing that can make 2025 the best year ever is taking your pet along for the ride, literally or figuratively. Make this your year go on a trip with your furry friend or join a five playdate group.
Our pets’ lives are only as exciting as we make them, so let’s treat them to another amazing 365 days!
