The first full week in May is National Pet Week® …. From the moment you realize your pet is “the one” to the last tearful goodbye, your veterinarian helps you provide your pet with a lifetime of love.
Are you a good pet owner….did you know….Sure….Everybody loves their pet yet 53.9 percent of cat owners and 48.6 percent of dog owners do not take their pet to the veterinarian unless visibly sick or injured. Pets often hide symptoms of illness. Regular check-ups are vital to catching potential health problems early. Not only can early treatment mean better health for your pet, it can also save money.
Do your part to prevent pet overpopulation. Talk to your veterinarian about the proper timing for spaying or neutering your pet. Avoid unplanned breeding through spay/neuter, containment or managed breeding.
Lastly but not least make sure your cat or dog get the vaccines they need to stay healthy….rabies, heartworms and parasites are always a risk. Keep your dog or cat up-to-date on all medications….bathe them regularly and always give them the love they deserve.
