Summer throws off routines: school’s out, people travel more, and daily structure slips. But pets don’t stop needing consistency.
Why Routine Matters:
Feeding and walking at irregular times can increase anxiety or cause health issues. Pets thrive on predictability—it gives them a sense of control.
Disrupted Routines Can Lead To:
Accidents indoors
Whining or clinginess
Digestive problems
Destructive behavior
Stick to the Basics:
Try to keep feeding, walking, and play times regular—even with shifting schedules. If you're gone or busy, we can keep your pet on track with structured drop-ins or walks.
Use Visual Cues:
Leave out toys, food puzzles, or worn clothing when you're gone. These items help reinforce normalcy.
Don’t Forget Grooming:
Regular brushing or nail care also reinforces routine. Even during chaotic weeks, these small rituals matter.
Structure helps pets feel safe—and when things get unpredictable, that structure is what helps them stay calm and healthy.
