Pet New Year’s Resolutions Ideas

January is the perfect time to set some achievable goals and implement some healthy habits for the year ahead. As you reflect on last year and dream up new adventures, why not bring your pet along for the journey? We’ve gathered some inspiring ideas to help you create fun and meaningful pet new year’s resolutions for both you and your furry companion.

Get fit

No more quick walks around the block after dinner. 2026 is all about getting fit with your pet. Both you and your pet will reap the rewards both physically and mentally. On an average 30 minute dog walk you can burn between 100 and 200 calories. If your cat is in need of some exercise, try a Switch light up cat scratcher by Omlet. This innovative scratcher not only encourages your cat to stretch and scratch, but the interactive lights keep them engaged and entertained for hours.

Try a new activity with your pet

From hiking to kayaking, catching waves to joining a pet exercise class, it’s never been easier, or more fun, to include your pet in a new adventure. These activities aren’t just exciting; they’re a great way for both of you to stay active and healthy. For example, a 30-minute walk on the beach can help you burn around 150 calories, while a 30-minute hike could see you burning up to 220 calories. So grab your furry friend and make every outing a chance to boost your fitness and create unforgettable memories together.

Incorporate more playtime into your routine

Dogs are all about playful games, and cats can’t resist the thrill of chasing a toy; just don’t tell them it’s exercise! This year, why not make it your mission to enjoy even more playtime with your pets? Whether you’re tossing a ball, waving a feather wand, or inventing your own silly games, these moments are pure joy for both of you. Plus, a lively 20-minute tug of war can help you burn around 50 calories. It’s a win-win: you get to boost your fitness while sharing laughter and building an even stronger bond with your furry sidekick.

If you’re on the hunt for a fun new play-space for your cat, check out the Freestyle Indoor Cat Tree by Omlet. This fully customizable cat tree is designed to grow with your feline friend, letting you add and rearrange accessories to keep things fresh and exciting. It’s the perfect way to keep your cat entertained, active, and happy, all while adding a stylish touch to your home.

Groom your pet every day

Brushing your pet is such a simple way to keep them looking and feeling their best. Not only does it help cut down on the fur you find on your clothes and furniture, but it also spreads those natural oils from their skin, giving their coat that healthy, shiny glow. Regular grooming is a great chance to bond and sneak in a little health check too. It’s a relaxing, feel-good routine that’s just as rewarding for you as it is for your furry friend.

Teach an old dog a new trick

Studies show that mental stimulation can help slow down cognitive decline in older pets. By keeping your senior pet’s brain active, you’re not just keeping them entertained, you’re actually helping their mind stay healthier and sharper as they age. Try introducing puzzle toys, teaching new tricks, or simply mixing up your daily routine to keep things interesting. Plus, all that extra quality time together is a wonderful way to strengthen your bond and make your pet’s golden years even more joyful.

Update your pet’s ID info

Over the course of a year, a lot can change. People move, get new phone numbers, and sometimes forget to update their pet’s tags. It’s easy for these little details to slip through the cracks, but they’re so important for your pet’s safety. Take a few minutes to check that your furry friend’s tags and microchip information are up to date with your current contact details. If your pet ever gets lost, having accurate information can make all the difference in bringing them home quickly.

Make new friends

Visit your local park and get to know other pet owners, it’s easier than you think. Taking your pet out for some fresh air is the perfect opportunity to strike up a conversation with fellow animal lovers. You might make new friends, pick up helpful tips, or even discover fun events happening in your community. Plus, your pet will love the chance to socialize and explore new sights and smells.

Maintain a healthy diet

Keeping an eye on nutrition helps your furry friend stay energetic, happy, and at their best. Monitor your flock’s treats with a Peck Toy by Omlet, or a Caddi Treat Holder, suitable for rabbits and guinea pigs, as well as chickens. Remember, treats are great for training and showing love, but moderation is key to maintaining a healthy weight. Most of all, savor every moment you spend with your wonderful pets. Whether you’re playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing together, these are the moments that make life truly special.
