Cosy winter time with dog & cat

Cosy wintertime with your dog and cat: How to make your home really cosy ❄️🐾

It's getting cosy in the house again, snuggle time has begun! 🤗
2025 is drawing to a close and we're putting our colourful woollen socks back on. The days are getting shorter, the walks colder, and we're spending more time indoors again – together with our pets.

To keep things from getting dreary, we have some wonderful ideas for a cosy Christmas season with your dog and cat at home.

1. Set up cosy corners for warmth and comfort

In winter, dogs and cats particularly enjoy warm places to retreat to. Set up a special place for them in every cosy room:

Fluffy dog blankets & cosy cat blankets → Flora
Orthopaedic dog beds for better joint support → Barca
Cave beds for cats for more security & warmth → Perla
Soft carpets instead of cold floors

❄️ Winter tip: Older animals and dogs with joint problems in particular benefit from thick, supportive bedding.

2. Indoor activities: Burning off energy despite the cold

When walks are shorter, dogs need more mental stimulation at home.

For dogs

Intelligence games → Tubo or Dado
Lick mats to combat winter stress → Volpe or Aperitivo
Trick training or target work

For cats

Interactive toys → Rotolo or Catnip
Food mazes & lick mats → Aperitivo or Pesce
Scratching mats → Pannello

❄️ Winter tip: Activity toys ensure peace and quiet, better sleep and less frustration in winter.

3. Create rituals: Shared winter moments

Winter is bonding time. Create regular rituals such as:

✨ Evening cuddle time on the sofa

✨ Weekly "Advent surprise" (a massage or new snacks)

✨ Pet-friendly tea time: herbal tea for you, dried snacks for animals

4. Winter care: coat, paws & hydration 🐾

Care is also important indoors.

For dogs

Paw balm to protect against road salt and cold cracks
Coat care for undercoats
Nutritional supplements

For cats

Regular brushing reduces hairballs
More scratching areas, as there is less exercise outdoors
Additional fluids via broth or high-quality wet food, as indoor spaces are often dry in winter

5. Safe & stylish Christmas decorations

Christmas yes, but please be safe:

🚫 avoid:

Tinsel & gift ribbon
Glass baubles
Scented candles

✔ better:

LED fairy lights
Felt & wooden baubles
Fabric decorations in natural colours

Always supervise when animals are near decorations!

Pets are part of the family - of course they get a gift too!
