Matting is risky for a dog’s health, especially since it makes it impossible for pet owners to take a good look at their pet’s body.

Daily inspections are necessary to make sure that your dog doesn’t pick up parasites from the outdoors – and if the fur is matted, you have no way of telling whether they have fleas or, worse, any skin lesions.

You might think that your dog is better equipped to handle cold weather compared to you, but the reality is that dogs can get cold just as much as we do.

Some breeds are indeed fitted with specialised coats that make them fully capable of handling inclement weather, such as Siberian Huskies or Alaskan Malamutes. But the majority of the other breeds thrive in temperate climates, so they can feel just a little uncomfortable in the winter. Here are some tips on keeping your dog cosy even during the cold season.

Cats and dogs call for a bit of time and effort, and spending at least 30 to 60 minutes bonding with them every day is something that every pet owner should ensure.

As a pet parent, it is your responsibility to keep your pet as entertained as possible. Play is essential for keeping your pet’s brain health in check, and it can even prevent cognitive disorders in senior animals.
