Dogs
Week 37 for dog care, as the weather cools and temperatures drop, adjust your dog’s grooming routine, focusing on brushing to reduce shedding and checking for any skin issues that may arise in the changing weather. Ensure your dog’s bedding is clean and warm, especially if they sleep outdoors or in cooler areas of the house. Regular exercise is key, so take advantage of the cooler weather for longer walks and outdoor playtime.
