Changes in routine after the holidays and summer affect everyone in the family and can take some time to get used to. That's why today we want to give you some tips so that returning after the holidays is not so hard for your dog. The first thing is health: Give your pet a check-up when you return from vacation It is normal that on vacation you have spent more time away from home than usual. Your pet has been more exposed to some risks and therefore it is a good time to consider going to your veterinarian and performing a Leishmaniasis test, especially if you have been spending the summer in the Levante or Catalonia area.

What steps can be taken to get your dog back into a routine? The changes must be gradual. Take advantage of the fact that the heat at this time begins to relax to resume physical activity with your pet as well as the times at which you usually do it during the winter.
