Of course you love your pets and you want to give them the very best so that the live long and happy lives. Here are 7 good and easy tips to help you do just that:
1. Spay or neuter - These procedures will not only save you from unwanted puppies or kittens, but also help protect your beloved pet from cancers and infections.
2. Vaccinate - It's as important to pets as it is to humans. And, yes, this means indoor dogs and cats, too.
3. Visit your Vet - Schedule regular checkups with your vet even if your pet is healthy. It never hurts to do preventive care.
4. Exercise - Keep them moving. They love it and it stimulates blood flow and keeps muscles and joints flexible and strong. So get out and walk with them. Let's face it - Most of us can use a little more exercise, too.
5. Feed your dog dog food and your cat cat food - There is a good reason that the grocery aisle has two sections - one for dogs and one for cats - and that the bags are clearly marked. With pictures, even. Each animal has specific dietary needs and the best foods meet these needs. Add supplements to the food to promote breed specific issues such as joint and muscle pain. No candy or prohibited "people food."
6. Beware of the elements - If it's too cold or too hot for you to be comfortable, then it is too cold or hot for your pet. Their wild brethren may be able to stand the worst weather, but these are pets. Limit exposure to the worst conditions and watch them at home to see if they are shaking or panting.
7. Shower them with love - A happy pet is a healthy pet.
