Animals are often less active in winter due to several factors:
#1 - Cold Temperatures
Cold temperatures can be deterrent for many pets, especially those with little fur or who are more sensitive to the cold, such as tropical breeds or older animals. Exposure to the cold can not only reduce their desire to move, but also increase the risk of numbness or injuries, such as cracked pads. Pets with little experience with snow or freezing temperatures may be wary or refuse to go outside altogether.
#2 - Joint Pain
Cold and damp conditions often aggravate joint problems, such as arthritis or dysplasia, making movement more difficult and painful. This is especially true for older pets or those with existing chronic conditions. Joint stiffness caused by the cold can also limit their ability to run, jump, or even walk on icy surfaces, causing them to remain immobile.
#3 - Reduced Daylight
Shorter days and a lack of sufficient natural light affect animals' circadian rhythms, much in the same way they do in humans. This can lead to decreased energy levels, making them more lethargic and prone to sleeping more. Additionally, a lack of direct light reduces the production of vitamin D, which is essential for their overall health, which can also impact their vitality.
#4 - Lack of Outdoor Stimulation
In winter, outdoor spaces like parks or gardens become less accessible due to snow, ice, or extreme cold. This significantly reduces the opportunities for animals to run, play, or explore. Without this stimulation, they can quickly become bored and adopt more passive behaviors, such as sleeping or staying still, which contributes to their inactivity.

But just before...
Here are 3 simple ideas to get your pet moving this winter
If you have a dog...
Short but dynamic walks
On cold days, opt for short but active walks to keep your dog moving without being too exposed to the cold. Dress him in a suitable coat and protect his paws with booties if necessary. Incorporate games such as sprints to make the outing more engaging.
Indoor throwing games
Turn your living room or a safe space into a play area. Use a ball, rope, or his favorite toy to encourage your dog to run, jump, or fetch. Be sure to move breakable items and size toys to avoid accidents.
Learning new tricks
Take advantage of the long winter evenings to teach your dog new commands or tricks, such as "roll over," "turn around," or "give your paw." Use food rewards or praise to motivate your dog. This mental activity is just as important as physical exercise, especially as he spends more time indoors.
If you have a cat...
Playing with interactive toys
Interactive toys, such as lasers or feather wands, stimulate your cat's natural hunting instinct. You can vary the movements to mimic prey and keep him interested. Keep sessions short but frequent to prevent him from getting bored and to help him burn calories while staying active.
Obstacle course
Build a fun course by arranging cardboard boxes, cat tunnels, and cushions. Encourage your cat to explore, climb, or jump from one point to another by attracting his attention with a toy or treat. This type of activity engages his physical and mental abilities, while exploiting his love of hiding.
Treat Hunt
Hide small treats or kibbles in different parts of the house to encourage your cat to search for them. You can also use food-dispensing toys to make the activity more stimulating. This encourages his sense of smell and foraging instinct while keeping him moving.
These recommendations may seem simple at first glance, but it's often the smallest actions that have the biggest impacts, and your attention to these details will make all the difference in the health, well-being and happiness of your four-legged companion.

Efficacité des produits, excellent suivi, aide précieuse de toute l'équipe
Des conseillères bienveillantes et à l'écoute les produits semblent
beaucoup apporter à ma Rosalie à voir sur le long terme
Cela fait plusieurs mois que j utilise ces produits pour un glaucome et je constate que la tension oculaire de l oeil à diminué
Concernant mon Ami yoda, le produit pour détartrer ses petite quenottes à marché à merveille je constate que ses gencives sont moins inflammés que ces dents sont plus blanches et que son haleine est moins odorante.
La santé de notre chat s’est grandement améliorée. Il prend les
produits depuis presque un an et comme il a le FIV, nous pensons lui
donner à vie.
