The Importance of Pet Health Care

We’re a nation of animal lovers and pets are like part of the family. Because of this, pet health care should be as important to us as our own health care. Because vet bills can be costly, it’s important to take on some simple advice to keep your pet healthy and avoid illness in later life.

It’s important to vaccinate large pets such as cats and dogs.This can be expensive, but shouldn’t be forgotten.Vaccinating your pet saves money and heartache in the long run since these simple injections protect against life threatening conditions.

Cats and dogs should also be wormed and treated for fleas and ticks. Again, this may seem expensive but it’s better to be safe than sorry and it’ll ensure your pet is happy.
Promoting your animal’s happiness and comfort is also a great contributor to pet health care. All animals need a suitable place to sleep. Cats might sleep in a variety of different places in the house. Dogs on the other hand should be provided with a warm bed.Also, smaller pets like hamsters and rabbits need a warm place with the appropriate material. Hamster bedding is available in pet shops, but shredded paper will do nicely too.

Your pet’s diet is also very important to their health.It sounds like a joke, but pet obesity is on the increase in the UK, so choose their food carefully. Fatty milk isn’t great for cats, so save it for treats only. Many dog owners feed their dog human food from the table.A little of this is ok, but remember when he’s at the table begging for food that he also has dog food to eat, so not to give him too much. Rabbits will appreciate a variety of fresh vegetables.

Exercise is very important for pets.Even small pets like hamsters need a good run, so make sure they have the biggest cage you can accommodate to give them space to explore. Hamsters should be taken out of their cage to exercise; the plastic balls you can buy in pet shops are great for them. Do take care though, their tiny size makes hamsters great at disappearing into small holes and cracks.Cats will normally take care of their own exercise, but keeping them active with toys is a great idea. Pampered house cats often avoid going out in the cold weather, but they should be encouraged to go out for their own good.Exercising your dog is easy, because most dogs love a good walk. Remember that too much exercise is as bad as too little, so get the right amount. Generally, you can assume the bigger the dog, the longer his walk should be.

These rules are very simple, but are very effective in promoting a healthy lifestyle for your pet. You should always take your pet for an annual check up with the vet, but giving your pet a healthy life is vital to your pet health care regime. To prevent heartache and costly vets bills, this advice is vital.
