The New Year’s are all about looking back at the past. But most importantly looking forward to the future and resolving to follow through on changes in our lives. So, while I was making my own 2010 New Year’s Resolution it got me thinking about the health, well being & happiness of my two adorable pugs Sushi & Espy.
We sat at the dinner table reflecting and pondering the question “How can we be better dog owners in 2010?” Here are some wonderful realistic & easy top 10 New Year’s resolutions compliments of our paw pals at Trupanion. Thanks for helping pet owners set realistic 2010 resolution goals. Sushi & Espy send New Year’s wags your way!
Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions for Pet Owners by Trupanion
Every year, we go through the same motions of planning New Years resolutions for ourselves: lose weight, eat healthy, travel, and spend more time with friends and family. However, what many people don’t realize is that their pets may need some goals set for them as well!
There are many lifestyle changes you can make to ensure a happier and healthier life for your pet. Try to work some of these resolutions into your plans:
- Train your pet. This year, teach your pet a new trick or two. Many pets enjoy mental challenges to give their brain some exercise, plus it’s good bonding time for you and your pet.
- Slim down that fat dog or cat. Pet obesity is a growing problem that leads to many health issues down the road. These health issues can be potentially expensive and life threatening.
- Get your pet into a routine. If you have a new puppy or kitten, practice getting them used to regular feeding times and potty times. This will reduce the frequency of “accidents” if they know when they can expect their next visit to the “bathroom”.
- Kick bad habits. If your pet has separation anxiety, check out some of these tips on how to alleviate the problem. If your pet is a beggar at the dinner table, train him to wait in his bed or space until your meal is finished, and stop feeding table scraps altogether.
- Make a new pet friend. If your pet is friendly with other pets, introduce him to a new playmate and let them romp around together.
- Resolve to get out more. Take your pet on more regular walks, to the park, or just let them roam in the backyard more frequently. The new sites and smells keep them busy and are a real treat.
- Play more. Set aside some extra time each day to play with your pet, whether it be throwing a ball, tug-of-war, or dangling a string throughout the house. This is a great way to give them two things they love: toys and your attention.
- Give back to the community. Take in a foster pet for a week or volunteer at your local pet shelter to give back to homeless pets.
- Clean up clutter. Go through that pile of pet toys and get rid of those that your pet no longer plays with.
10. Get your pet checked and vaccinated. Be sure your pet is up to date on the latest vaccinations, and flea and heartworm medications. Also schedule your pet’s regular checkups to ensure they are in tip-top shape!
Good luck and Happy New Year!

The Benefits of Gift Cards!
1. Since very few people will actually tell you what they truly want as a gift, a gift card can eliminate the disappointment that is evident when you get someone something that they do not enjoy. With a gift card, the receiver is free to pick out whatever they choose, instead of relying on your psychic abilities to provide a good present.
2. Gift cards make perfect last minute presents. Whether you are celebrating the arrival of a new pet, bark-day, or decking the halls with your pet this howliday, gift cards are great for any occasion.
3. Foolproof white elephant gift that anyone could appreciate. Perfect for any secret gift exchange.
