Autumn is a beautiful season full of color and freshness, but it also brings a series of changes that pet owners should be prepared for. As leaves change color and temperatures drop, it's important to consider how these changes affect your beloved pets.

Take into account the falling temperatures

Temperatures drop significantly in autumn, especially in the evening and in the morning. While some pets, such as thick-haired dogs, may enjoy the cooler weather, others, such as short-haired dogs and cats, can get cold quickly. Consider giving them an extra blanket for their place to sleep or even a warm jacket when they go outside. Make sure their beds are in a draft-free place and that they have sufficient shelter from the cold.

Adjust their diet

With the change of season, it may be necessary to adjust your pet's diet. In autumn, some animals, such as outdoor cats and working dogs, need more energy to maintain their body temperature. This means that you should increase their diet or switch to a higher-calorie diet. However, remember that pets that become less active during the colder months need less food to prevent them from gaining weight.
