How to protect your pet against seasonal sicknesses

WITH two years of the pandemic behind us, we’re used to taking steps to reduce our own risk of infection, particularly against seasonal sicknesses and colds, but how can we protect our pets? Today, we’re sharing some top tips to help keep your pet healthy during the winter.

Staying warm

Just like humans, cats and dogs feel the chill as weather takes a turn for the worse. Take care not to cut your pet’s fur too short, it’s a necessary form of protection against the elements. In some cases an extra coat is appreciated, but take care not to let them overheat, our four-legged friends can’t regulate their body temperature in the same way we can.

Keep an extra eye on elderly pets, puppies and kittens as they can’t regulate their temperature so well.

General health

The best way to care for your pet’s health is to keep up a healthy routine and diet. Keep up daily exercise, but take extra care in cold or rainy weather. Visit your vet regularly, especially if you’re concerned about sickness.

Daily habits

Observe your pet during the day. Are they spending more time in a warmer part of the house? If so, this could be a sign that you should move their bed to a warmer place.

Your essential checklist for travelling with a pet

TRAVELLING is a crucial part of the Christmas period for many people, but it can sometimes be difficult when travelling with a furry friend. Today we share a checklist to help you prepare to travel with your pet, while keeping them safe and comfortable.

Means of transport

This is a crucial first step. If you are travelling with a pet it’s important to make arrangements that are pet friendly. When booking train tickets, you can book a space for your dog. If travelling by plane, make sure to book a cabin place for cats or dogs or a place in the hold for other animals or larger dogs, if the airline allows it.

Legal requirements

Certain means of transport require particular documents when travelling with pets. Make sure you bring any certificates of vaccination and insurance that could be needed before leaving for a trip.

Comfort first

Travelling can be a scary experience for your pet, which can cause out-of-character behaviour and anxiety. Help your pet by ensuring they have been fed and have enough water during your journey. If you get the chance to give your pet a short walk during your journey, take it. This can help to reduce anxiety. Taking a familiar toy or blanket can also help to calm nerves.

The best cars to deal with rainy conditions on the roads

VAST swathes of the country were hit by torrential downpours in the last couple of weeks, leaving many struggling with transport options. Today we’re taking a look at three of the best car models for rainy conditions, according to motoring experts.

Toyota Yaris Cross

Experts say that small SUVs are your best bet in rainy conditions, and weighing in at 1,260kg, the Toyota Yaris Cross is slightly towards the heavier end of the light SUV scale but its powerful four wheel drive system and anti-skid features give this car a high rating. The car also offers an impressive ground clearance and strong LED lights for dark rainy conditions.

Hyundai Kona

This SUV model from the South Korean brand has similar credentials to the Toyota Yaris Cross to deal with heavy rain. Its powerful 198 horsepower engine combined with a highly-effective four wheel drive system and tyres with a strong grip, this car is rated highly to deal with rainy conditions.

Fiat Panda Cross

This unique model is one of the lightest four-wheel drive cars on the market, at just 1,165kg. The car’s four-wheel drive gives drivers maximum control in slippery conditions. The car is also one of the cheaper models on the market at €24,000.
