Winter Care Tips for Small Pets

As winter rolls into Waterford, keeping your small pets cozy and healthy is a top priority—Timmy’s Pet Shop has you covered! For rabbits, guinea pigs, or hamsters, ensure their hutch or cage is draft-free and lined with extra bedding—think straw or fleece for warmth. Indoor pets still feel the chill, so keep their space away from cold windows. Nutrition matters too; our raw food options provide the energy they need to stay warm—stop by our Dungarvan store for advice on portions. Water bottles can freeze, so check them daily or switch to bowls. Exercise is trickier in winter, but toys or a safe indoor run keep them active. Watch for signs of discomfort like huddling or lethargy, and call us at +353-87-1728144 if you’re worried. Our team, with years of small pet expertise, loves sharing natural care tips. Winter doesn’t have to be ruff—visit Unit 3, Shandon Business Park, and let’s prep your pets together!
