As the snow settles in across our region, our four-legged family members feel the change just as much as we do. Winter brings cozy cuddles, frosty walks, and plenty of reasons to keep tails wagging—but it also means a little extra care is needed to keep dogs and cats healthy, happy, and comfortable all season long.

Nutrition Matters More Than Ever
Cold weather can affect your pet’s energy needs. Some pups burn more calories on brisk walks or play, while others may lounge more indoors. Now is a great time to talk about adjusting meal portions, choosing nutrient-dense lower calorie proteins or formulas, or exploring raw and natural diets that support immune health. Adding a high quality omega 3 supplement such as our Baie Run Omega 3 is always beneficial, but even more so in this season.
If you’re curious about what’s best for your pet this winter, our knowledgeable staff is always here to help you make informed choices.
Hydration Isn’t Just a Summer Thing
Did you know pets can become dehydrated just as easily in the winter? Heated homes and dry air can leave them feeling thirsty. Make sure fresh water is always available, and consider a pet-safe fountain to encourage drinking. We carry a variety of hydration solutions and supplements to support overall wellness.
