Caring for your dog in winter

The cold, humidity and temperature contrasts mean that in winter you have to adapt your dog's care.

The dog breeds most vulnerable to the cold are those of small size and those with short hair. And, above all, we will have to be especially attentive and protect puppies, elderly senior dogs and those that have had respiratory diseases, arthritis or pathologies that affect bones and joints from the cold. Tips against the cold Whenever possible, adapt departure times to the coldest hours. After outings, especially if it rains or snows, dry your pet well and brush its fur. It will help you keep your hair and skin healthy, as well as eliminate traces of moisture. Put a blanket or bed within reach of your pet where he can stay warm at home, especially if he has arthritis or another joint disease. In winter, respiratory diseases are common. To prevent them, limit baths as much as possible and make sure that if you decide to bathe your dog, the water is hot and that you dry him very well before taking him outside.

International Animal Rights Day December 10, 2021 Published in Blog animal rights Today is the International Animal Rights Day. A celebration that was launched in 1997 and that coincides with International Human Rights Day. In fact, recently the Congress of Deputies has approved the bill that modifies the legal regime of animals, which go from being considered "things" to "sentient", that is, living beings endowed with sensitivity.







International Animal Rights Day is celebrated every December 10. Its objective is to reflect on the respect that should be had towards all living beings. Because as Mahatma Gandhi said “ a country or civilization can be judged by the way they treat their animals .” As stated in the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights , animals have four basic rights. The right to life, to freedom, to not be subjected to situations that cause pain, and not to be considered property. International Animal Rights Day coincides this year with a legal change of great importance. The recognition of animals as living beings by the Congress of Deputies affects the Civil Code. From now on, the well-being of animals will be taken into account in divorce or separation processes , in order to agree on their custody, visitation regime, etc. Also in case of death , the judges determine who will take charge of the fate of a pet in the event that its legal owner dies. Another aspect that will be affected by this modification is the Mortgage Law. From now on, animals will be “unseizable . ” This will mean that when a judge issues an asset seizure, it can only affect material assets, leaving out the animals that will be left in the care of the family. In the process of processing this proposed law, the fact that in Spain 16 million households have at least one pet has been highlighted. Committed to animal rights At Disane we are committed to animal rights. We actively collaborate with several shelters to help them care for and care for those animals that have been abandoned by their owners. Being part of the Disane Community you can receive information about the care of your pet, but also sponsor, adopt or collaborate in the maintenance of any of the animals abandoned in the shelters with which we work.
