Editor’s Letter

September 2024 PHOTOGRAPHER: NATALIA SOLOMNAYA

Lucy Morris Editor-in-chief Welcome to the Perfect Pets The Pet Pal September issue - it’s great to have you here for the beginning of the autumn season.

As the crisp autumn air settles in and the leaves begin their mesmerizing transformation, September ushers in a special charm that captivates not only us but also our beloved animal companions.

The changing season brings with it a unique opportunity to create memorable experiences with our furry, feathered, and scaly friends.

This month, we’re dedicating our focus to exploring the myriad ways we can make the most of the fall season alongside our cherished pets.

The arrival of cooler temperatures heralds an ideal time for extended walks with our canine companions. These leisurely strolls allow our dogs to immerse themselves in the vibrant autumn landscape, exploring the kaleidoscope of colourful foliage and relishing the satisfying crunch of fallen leaves beneath their eager paws. For feline enthusiasts, the changing season presents a perfect opportunity to craft cosy indoor havens for our cats. Consider creating a snug nook by a sun-drenched window, where they can luxuriate in the warm autumn light and observe the world outside as it transitions into fall.

For those who share their homes with smaller pets such as rabbits or guinea pigs, autumn offers an exciting chance to introduce seasonal treats into their diets. Consider offering small portions of pumpkin or apple as a special autumnal indulgence, always remembering to do so in moderation to maintain their dietary balance. It’s equally important not to overlook our reptilian companions during this seasonal shift.

While they may not partake in the joy of frolicking through fallen leaves, ensuring proper heating in their habitats becomes increasingly crucial as ambient temperatures begin to drop. This attention to their environmental needs is vital for maintaining their health and wellbeing throughout the cooler months.

Whether it’s savoring the warmth of a purring cat curled up beside you on a chilly evening, or watching with delight as your dog bounds through a freshly raked pile of leaves with unbridled enthusiasm, our animal companions have an extraordinary ability to enhance the magic of this season.

May this autumn bring you countless opportunities for shared adventures, quiet moments of companionship, and the simple pleasures that come from experiencing the changing world alongside your faithful animal friends. Next month we invite you to join us for our October issue, and our spooky Halloween special - we look forward to seeing you there!
