Pet Care During Quarantine: 5 Ways To Keep Your Pet Buddies Fit And Active

Coronavirus pandemic has temporarily shut everything from grocery stores to schools, parks, and even offices. Some businesses have shifted from office to home as we have to maintain social distancing. It is one effective move to prevent its spread.

But, what about pets? Confined to four walls is not something pets can do 24x7. They need to go outside once a day. But due to lockdown pet owners are finding it difficult to take care of their buddies like before. Moreover, they cannot access the dog walking services, doggy daycares, and more.

Don't worry, here are a few tips to keep you and your dog away from cabin fever.

How to Keep Your Dog Mobile During Quarantine?

Walk For 15 Minutes

Play With Your Pet

So, play games like hide and seek or bring their favorite toys to play with. You can hide their toys and ask them to find. However, make sure that you play in a room other than a living room.

Hallway, house's backyard, or basement is the perfect place to play with your dog. Moreover, you can toss a toy and ask your dog to get it. It would be full of fun for them and even you will feel good.

Since your dog is not doing as much as daily exercise like before therefore avoid overfeeding. It is bad for their health as they are not doing as many outdoor activities as they used to do. So, assess their diet and then cut back it 10 percent.

But do not feed them too little as it will make them weak. Just cut the extra portion from their meal.

A fun activity to try is to hide their food and let them find it. It will keep them both physically and mentally active.

Try these ways to ensure that your pets don't become lazy due to quarantine.
