Your canine companion deserves
extra care during the colder months. Winter calls for slightly different essentials to keep your pooch warm, safe, and entertained. Alongside their regular needs, such as food and basic hygiene products, think about winter-specific essentials. Protect them during walks with visibility aids for darker evenings, and keep them warm indoors with cosy blankets.
Food requirements may also change, as dogs often burn more calories to stay warm. Consider adding long-lasting treats to keep them mentally stimulated, especially on rainy days when long walks aren’t an option. With thoughtful selections, your beloved pets can enjoy an enriched and comfortable winter while staying on budget.
Best Value Dog Food
Ensuring your dog receives balanced nutrition doesn’t mean spending a fortune. Affordable yet wholesome choices like
Jollyes Lifestage Adult Dog Food (£8.09 for 2kg) offer everything they need to thrive. Containing 30% protein-rich turkey, the grain-inclusive recipe supports immune health, gentle digestion, and a shiny coat.
For small breeds, this 2kg pack provides enough food for an entire month. Medium breeds will have approximately two to three weeks of meals. Adjust serving sizes based on your pooch’s activity levels during winter. Less outdoor play may mean they require fewer calories, but ensure they have energy to stay warm.
Treat your dog over winter
With winter really settling in, it's the perfect time to treat your furry friend and spread some holiday cheer. Even if you're on a budget, you can still prioritize treats for your pets.
