A new year is just around the corner – the perfect time to reflect on the old year and start new habits full of joy and energy. Maybe you have already asked yourself: What can I do better in the new year – for myself and my dog? After all, our dogs are not just part of our everyday lives, they are an integral part of our family. They give us love, loyalty and joy in life, and that is precisely why they deserve our full attention, especially when it comes to making their lives healthier, happier and more fulfilling.
Let's start a new year full of joy and positive routines together. In this article you will find practical, inspiring and easy-to-implement New Year's resolutions that will do you and your dog good.
1. Establish healthy routines: care and prevention for your dog
A healthy new year begins with good habits. Regular care and health prevention ensures that your dog stays fit and happy by your side for a long time.
- Regular dental care: Your dog's dental health is our top priority, and you can get started right away. With our emmi-pet ultrasonic toothbrush you clean your dog's teeth effectively, without stress or much effort. Make it a small, loving routinewhere your dog feels that his well-being is at stake.
- Coat and skin care: Especially in the cold winter months, the care of fur and skin is particularly important. Regular brushing removes dirt, dead hair and ensures that your dog's skin stays healthy. With the right emmi-pet Tools you can optimally care for your dog's coat.
- Check-ups at the vet: Set regular appointments for health checks to detect illnesses early. An annual visit is important to make sure everything is OK. Your dog trusts you - give him the care he needs.
Healthy routines not only give your dog quality of life, but also strengthen your bond.
2. Exercise and fitness: Stay active together
Regular exercise keeps not only you but also your dog fit and balanced. The new year offers the chance to discover new ways and enrich your fitness routine.
- New walking trails: How about getting off the beaten track for once? Explore new hiking trails, parks or beaches in your area. Every new place offers exciting smells and impressions for your dog.
- Indoor training in bad weather: Not every day is suitable for long walks. Tug toys or intelligence toys from emmi-pet offer the perfect opportunity to keep your dog busy and fit indoors. A happy dog is an active dog.
- Integrate training sessions: A new command or small movement exercises can be easily incorporated into everyday life. Agility exercises, small search games or balance tricks challenge your dog physically and mentally.
Make exercise a shared pleasure – your dog will love spending time with you and experiencing new things.
3. Appreciate shared moments: More time for bonding
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we sometimes forget how important the little moments are. Your dog lives in the here and now - and he shows you every day how valuable these moments are. So why not spend more time together in the new year?
- Plan cuddling moments: A few minutes in the morning or evening just for you – this strengthens your bond and creates a routine that your dog looks forward to.
- Experience adventures together: Plan trips or experiences that you can enjoy together. A day in the woods, a swim in the lake or a trip to a dog-friendly cafe - all of these create memories that last.
- Celebrate playtime: Use toys like tug ropes or chew toys to keep your dog entertained. Playing together is not only fun, but also promotes your trust in one another.
These little moments are what really counts in the end. Your dog will sense when you consciously take time for him - and his shining eyes will show you how much he loves it.
4. Mental stimulation: Promote mental fitness
Physical activity is important, but your dog's mind also needs challenges. Mental activity keeps him alert, content and happy.
- Sniffing games and search tasks: Hide treats or toys and let your dog search for them. This stimulates his senses and keeps him mentally active.
- trick training: Whether it’s “spin around” or “give paw,” learning new tricks not only strengthens your mind but also your mutual trust.
- Use intelligence toys: Brain games and food balls, such as those used in emmi-pet are a great way to give your dog a task in a playful way.
An active mind is the key to a balanced and happy dog.
5. Be conscious of your diet: establish healthy habits
A healthy diet is the basis for a long and healthy dog life. Maybe it's time to take a closer look at your dog's menu.
- High-quality snacks and chews: Rely on healthy emmi-pet chew snacksthat are not only delicious but also promote dental health.
- More freshness in the bowl: Supplement the food with fresh fruit and vegetables – carrots, apples or cucumbers are vitamin-rich treats.
- Check portions: Make sure to feed the right amount, especially for less active dogs, to avoid obesity.
A balanced diet ensures that your dog starts the new year full of energy and joy of life.
6. Mindfulness: Your dog as a mirror of your love
At the end of the day, it's not just about big resolutions, but also about the small gestures. Your dog gives you his trust and affection every day - all the more reason to give it back.
- Perceive his signals: Pay attention to your dog's body language. When does he need rest, when does he enjoy exercise or attention?
- Reduce stress: Avoid stress and noise if possible. A relaxed everyday life is also beneficial for your dog.
- Creating conscious moments: Even five minutes of full attention are sometimes worth more than a long walk. Your dog senses when you are with him.
A new year, a new chapter for you and your dog
The new year means New beginnings, hope and fresh energy – not only for us, but also for our four-legged companions. It is the perfect time to pause, rethink old habits and consciously bring positive changes into your life together. Whether it is about integrating more quality into everyday life, establishing new routines or simply showing even more love and mindfulness – every step, no matter how small, makes a big difference.
Imagine how you start the new year together: Long walks under bright winter skies, cozy evenings with loving care routines and new adventures togetherthat strengthen your bond. It is the small moments full of affection and mindfulness that make your connection even deeper.
As we have already explained in this article, with the right tools from emmi-pet you can specifically promote the well-being of your dog: The emmi-pet ultrasonic toothbrush ensures that dental care is not a tedious necessity, but becomes a part of your loving routine.
