The drop in temperatures causes dogs, just like humans, to catch colds. We give you a series of tips to prevent canine colds and to treat them, in the event that our dog already has a cold. Headache, general malaise, cough, frequent sneezing, muscle pain, loss of appetite, watery eyes, nasal congestion... These are some of the symptoms of a canine cold. The drop in temperatures makes our pets more exposed to catching a cold, so we must adopt a series of preventive measures. Especially if we have a puppy and an elderly dog. Dry the dog well after going outside, use the dryer if necessary. Avoid temperature contrasts and air currents as much as possible. Make sure the environment at home is not too hot (around 20 degrees). In certain cases, especially in small and mini dog breeds, it is recommended to use warm clothing for our pet when going outside. They will help you maintain your body temperature. After bathing, especially in winter, use the hairdryer, maintaining a safe distance of about 20-30 centimeters so as not to burn you. If your dog has already caught a cold, make sure he rests, stays hydrated (have water available at all times) and takes extreme care as described above to ensure his proper recovery. If your pet is convalescing and does not have the strength to leave the house, you can use the Disane dog and cat soaker . It is washable and reusable. It has four layers of protection to ensure urine absorption. In addition, it neutralizes odor and prevents stains. Differences between cold and flu Canine flu is a viral disease. It is caused by a virus associated with Bordetella Bronchiseptica, known as kennel cough.” It especially affects the dog's respiratory system.
It is not transmitted from a dog to a human, but it is very contagious between dogs (through the air, in contact with other dogs, through their excretions or the shared use of toys). In most cases, dogs recover without problems, but if we observe that our pet does not improve or has a continued fever, it is recommended to go to the veterinarian. He will be the one who evaluates the different treatment options (anti-inflammatories, antitussives or antibiotics if there is a concomitant bacterial infection).

There should always be sand available so they can relieve themselves. Cats are very clean and get distressed if they don't have a place to bury their feces, plus you risk them choosing another place themselves (and bad news, it's usually your bed). Make sure you place the litter away from their feeder, ideally in another room. If it is not possible, put them in opposite places in the same room, never next to each other as this may cause rejection. Scraper . All cats need their nails sharpened, so provide them with a scratching post, mat, etc. that they can scratch. Your sofas and curtains will also appreciate it. Brushed/malt . To prevent obstructions in their digestive tract due to the hairs they swallow when licking, it is good to brush them at least once a week.
