Last month we talked about the responsibility that goes along with owning a pet. This month we should discuss pet heath care. Picking out a healthy pet in the first place is very important. This goes for dogs,cats, birds, turtles or any other pet. Make an appointment with a veterinarian as soon as possible to have a health check done and to discuss nutrition, vaccination schedules, and future care.
Proper nutrition is the key to good health.
Make sure you choose a quality name brand food for your dog or cat. Never feed a generic brand. Also never begin feeding your pet from the table. A pet needs proper balances of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and so forth to stay healthy. An all meat diet can cause serious health problems for both dogs and cats.
