Pets need to keep busy for many reasons, but it can be a challenge to help your pets stay active in winter. Not only can cold temperatures and icy weather make playing outside impossible, but shorter days can limit the opportunity for winter outdoor activities. Fortunately, there are many options for keeping pets busy in winter that are safe, effective, and fun for both you and your pet.

It’s also important to note that it is still possible to be active outside even in winter, especially on warmer days. Outdoor activity may need to be more limited, but the occasional snowy playtime or brisk winter walk can still be a great way for keeping pets busy in winter and will add variety to their winter activities.
No matter what activities you choose for winter play and exercise, it is always crucial to stay safe. Be aware of indoor hazards for your pet, such as stairs or trip hazards, holiday foods that are toxic for pets, chilly drafts around their sleeping areas, breakable holiday decorations that could make sharp edges, or the fire hazards posed by candles or fireplaces. If your pet must be less active in winter, consider adjusting their diet slightly to maintain a healthy weight, and stay alert for any signs of illness or injury no matter what the season. Ideally, mix up the different activities you do with your pet to keep them engaged and entertained, and you both will enjoy the variety of fun you can have all winter long.
