You go to the doctor regularly—and so should your pet. Annual checkups give your veterinarian the chance to notice any developing illness and take care of it right away. Your vet will want to know about your pet’s behavior, eating and exercise habits, and will check her temperature, pulse and respiratory rate. The doctor will also inspect her gums and teeth, heart and lungs, and assess the health of her internal organs. If it’s been a year or more since your pet has seen a vet, make that appointment today!
Do a weekly health check. Regular home checkups are a great way to nip potential health problems in the bud. Plus, they’re as easy as one, two, three:
1.) Check under your pet’s fur for lumps, bumps, flakes or scabs.
2.) Check your pet’s ears and eyes for any signs of redness or discharge.
3.) Make note of any changes in her eating or drinking habits. If something seems off, call the vet.The goal….to entertain, educate & motivate you to be the best pet owner you can be!
