Here are 5 pawesome tips to be the best pet parent you can be!
- Take your pet to the vet at least once a year. When kitty makes a fuss about going to the vet, you might be tempted to skip the visit. But taking your pet to the vet for a yearly visit is essential to maintain good health. Your vet can diagnose diseases early before they become more complicated and costly. He can answer any questions you may have (no matter how embarrassing!) and ensure your pet maintains a healthy weight, among other things.
- Spay and neuter your pets. An estimated 10 million pets end up in shelters every year. Don’t add to this number! Spay and neuter your pets. You might be thinking, what if I want a cute kitten later on? Adopt one. Every time you adopt a pet, you give them a second chance at a happy, healthy, and safe life.
- Prevent parasites. Parasites are pesky pests that can take a heavy toll on your pet’s health. Watch out for intestinal parasites, heartworms, fleas, and ticks. Ask your vet which medication is right for year-round prevention.
- Feed them the best quality food you can. Remember that good nutrition is the key to a longer, healthier life. High-quality pet food acts as preventative medicine, strengthening the body to be able to fight off disease. Feed your pets high-quality, nutrient-rich, protein-packed foods. Their health will thank you.
- Provide an enriched environment. Look after your pet’s mental health too. Provide plenty of toys and playtime. Try teaching them some new tricks. Mental stimulation and social bonding are very important for the wellbeing of your pets.
