Helping Your Pets Adjust To The Back-To-School Routine

September 19, 2017

Cats and dogs tend to crying when we leave their presence because they are unaware of the fast-moving transition. Increase separation, gradually, and praise them when you return. Keep them busy when you are around.

Before Catching the Bus

Provide playful entertainment, so they can rest while you are away. Or leave toys in the room with them, for when their energy switch turns back on. Interactive chew toys are great for such an experience. This keeps them focused, and therefore calm as well. It also stops them from chewing on everything and prevents some sadness of the back to school blues.

When Alone

While away, play calming music, or even turn on the TV. Outside noise will provide a less lonely feeling in the house. Calming chewables or supplements can also be offered to feel as cool as the ice water you’ve had this passing summer. 

Back to school shopping doesn’t just have to apply for your kids, check out your local pet shop for a new addition to their toy, treat or grooming collection. As the backpacks are emptied with beach towels and sand and filled with books and lunches, and brains are tested in class be sure to gain your knowledge about your four-legged pal as well.

This breed is very majestic and ancient. They are known for their speed. Afghan Hounds actually hunt by speed and sight and not by scent and were bred to track animals like deer and gazelles. They can reach a speed of 65 kilometres an hour. Like a race horse, it’s all in the hips. It is in their nature to chase what they see so a fenced in yard is recommended along with some monitoring. One hour of physical activity a day is required.

Provide clean and cool drinking water that’s placed near some shade. It is never a bad idea to place several bowls of water, and space for your pet to walk around in the shade. Even placing a chair for your dog or cat to lay under helps provide a shade.

Just like you and I, dogs are prone to cavities and although their mouths are said to be cleaner than humans they can still develop tartar, plaque buildup, gingivitis or other problems other than bad breath.

A pet is most motivated to play and let out some energy when they are in the company of their owner. A playmate is always loved. If neighbours have another dog, go to a park as a group and increase the want to move. Your community might also have some planned activities, or a local dog walker.

This dog was bred in Germany in the 17th century as a hunter to get rid of the population of rats in homes. Today they are more like companions. They are known for their short jaws, and pouty look. Their faces look like monkeys because of the pushed in ape look. In German, Affenpinscher translates to monkey terrier, hence the name.
