PET CARE CHECK LIST

Following these three simple steps will help give your pets the healthy life they deserve, and can help prevent dangerous and costly health problems.

ð#1 GOOD DIET

A good diet is essential in maintaining a healthy pet, now and in years to come. Quality foods cost a little more, but more than make up for that cost in by reducing the frequency of Veterinary visits due to the many conditions resulting from feeding a cheap food.

ð#2 VACCINES & PARASITE PREVENTATIVE

We all know the importance of getting your pet vaccinated. Yearly vaccines insure that your pet is protected against a number of dangerous and potentially deadly diseases. Fleas, ticks, earmites, tapeworms, heartworms…there are many parasites that would like to make your pet their permanent home if given the chance. Left unchecked these parasites can cause severe health problems and even death. Fortunately your Veterinarian has a variety of effective preventatives that you can apply easily at home once a month.

ð#3 DENTAL CARE

Establishing a good dental routine for your pet is crucial for avoiding the inevitable problems that come with bad oral hygiene. Pets cannot tell us that it hurts when they eat, or if toothache is stopping them from resting comfortably. As our loved ones get older those dental problems that are left untreated start to cause problems in other body organs as the body suffers from years of fighting and constantly removing bacteria and poisons generated by Periodontal Disease. Don’t wait until it’s too late to help, talk to your veterinarian today about a dental plan. Preventative dental care can add 3-4 years of very comfortable companionship to your pet’s life.
