Last week, the rise in gasoline prices continued, still due to previous refinery outages caused by the cold weather the week of Christmas However I'moptimisticthatasrefinersget back online, we could see the increases slow down as we head into the time of year when gasoline demand is at its weakest," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "While gasoline prices have rallied average diesel prices continue to drift lower which certainly bodes wellfortheoveralleconomy As long as refiners are able to get back online soon from previous cold-weather outages, we could see supply start to recover at the same time demand is weak which could bring gas prices down again The window of opportunity however is shrinking, and by late February or early March, we'll likely kick off the seasonal rise in gasoline prices."

With the new year comes the tradition of making New Year’s resolutions While most resolutions are aimed at improving your life, pet owners should also consider making a resolution or two that will benefit the health of their pets.

Dr LoriTeller,aclinical associate professor at the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, says that many resolutions pet owners set for themselves can also be extended to theirpets.

Dietary resolutions aimed at improving your physical well-being are an exampleofthis.

“If you are focused on eating better and making more nutritious choices in the coming year then take thetimetomakesureyour pet is on the appropriate diet as well,” Teller said.

“Thisisagreattimetochat with your veterinarian about how to best meet your pet’s nutritional needs.”

Teller also suggests exploring healthy treat alternatives for dogs, like blueberriesorgreenbeans, and introducing cats to homegrown cat grass and catnip.

Increased exercise is another popular resolution that can benefit both owners and their furry friends.

“Mostpetsbenefitfrom a walk around the neighborhood, so consider giftingyourpetwithanew leash for the holidays and

then make a resolution to goforadailywalk,”Teller recommended. “You can also play fetch in the yard or resolve to take trips to thedogparkforthosewith more socially inclined dogs.”

In addition to resolutions aimed at improving physicalhealth,Tellersaid petownersshouldconsider resolutions that improve our pets’ mental health, too. Because new experiences are mentally stimulating, consider introducing your pets to a new section of the neighborhood during your regular walking routine to boosttheirmentalhealth.

Other unique experiences include food puzzle toys, the introduction of new sights and smells, or learningnewtricks.

“Bothdogsandcatscan be trained to learn new tricks,soteachyourpetsto give a ‘high five’ or bust out the latest dance moves,”Tellersaid.

Teller also recommends making resolutions aimed at preventing medical emergencies, such as to

keep choking hazards and harmful items hidden or out of reach from pets. Some items to keep away frompetsincludeelectrical cords, poisonous plants, rodentbait,raisins,grapes, any food containing xylitol,andtrash.

“It is always helpful to puppy- or kitty-proof your home,” Teller explained. “Having a first aid kit at home to manage minor problems can also be helpful.”

Another way to prevent unwanted medical concerns is to routinely visit the veterinarian, which can also help pet owners save money over time.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; this adage is as true today as it was decades ago,” Teller said. “When veterinarians can detect and intervene early in the courseofadisease,wecan help the pet and the owner spocketbook.”

Teller recommends taking pets at least once a year for a physical exam andtalkingtothevetabout
