    Dogs and cats

    Welcome to the Bonn-O Community. This is a place for dog and cat parents, and the people who care for them, to share what works, ask honest questions and help each other. A person from the Bonn-O team reads every report, and the rules are short: be kind, keep private things private, and say only what is true. These first posts are from the Bonn-O team, to give you somewhere to start. Add your own story, question or tip, and choose your city so that neighbours can find you.

    QuestionDogs and cats

    Diwali is around the corner. How do you keep your dog or cat calm when the fireworks start? Tell us what has worked for you, and what has not, so that other pet parents can try it too.

    TipDog

    Summer walks: test the road before you step out. Press the back of your hand on the pavement for about five seconds. If it is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your dog's paws. In the hot months, walk early in the morning or after sunset, stay on grass or in the shade where you can, and carry water for both of you. Short-nosed dogs such as pugs and bulldogs feel the heat sooner, so keep their walks shorter.

    TipCat

    Make the carrier a normal part of the home. Leave it open in a quiet corner for a week or two before the vet visit, with a soft towel inside and a treat now and then. A cat that already naps in the carrier travels far calmer than one who only sees it on vet days. In the car, cover the carrier with a light cloth so your cat feels hidden and safe.

    QuestionCat

    Cat parents: what helped your cat settle into a new home? Did you keep your cat in one room at first, use a favourite blanket, or try something else? Share what worked, so that the next person moving house with a cat knows where to start.

    TipDogs and cats

    Diwali with a pet: get ready before the first cracker. Set up a quiet room with the windows and curtains closed, a familiar blanket and some soft music or the television on. Walk your dog in daylight, well before the fireworks begin, and keep cats indoors. Check that your pet's ID tag carries your current phone number. Frightened pets slip out through open doors and gates more often at this time of year.

    TipDog

    Questions to ask a groomer before the first visit. How do you handle a nervous dog? How long will it take, and can I wait or watch? Are the tools and tables cleaned between pets? Do you ever use sedation? A caring groomer works slowly, takes breaks and does not rush a scared dog. These questions are worth asking of any groomer, wherever you go.

    TipCat

    Cats and balconies. In a flat, a cat chasing a bird or an insect can go over a balcony edge or out of an open window in a second. Put up a strong safety net or mesh over balconies and window openings, with no gaps a cat can squeeze through, and check it for wear every few months. Give your cat a window perch with a view as well, so that the outdoors stays interesting and safe.
