A pet parent’s 5–9: less bowl patrol, more sofa time

Do their essentials before yours
For a dog, make room for the usual toilet break or walk. For cats, check food, water and litter. Work with their established care needs rather than imposing this sample timetable on them.

Give the evening back to them
Keep space for the walk, play or quiet company your animal enjoys. During feeder training, observe both cats together. Do not assume a new lid means you can immediately stop supervising a dietary separation.
