| Veterinarians and other animal health professionals work very hard this month to educate you, the owner. Some people are simply unaware of many aspects of animal care. We have provided several links to other websites about caring for you furry friends. National Pet Wellness month was started by the American Veterinary Medical Association in combination with other organizations to promote better health awareness for your cherished companions. Because cats and dogs age 5-7 times more rapidly than people, it is recommended to have examinations twice a year, especially for pets over 7 years of age. This means that major health changes can occur in a short amount of time, and pet owners may not be aware of these problems. It is a protective instinct for dogs and cats to hide illness. An examination every six months allows our doctors to identify subtle changes in your fuzzy loved one. Identifying disease processes in the early stages allows for the best possible outcome with treatment. We at the Animal Hospital of Fate support this campaign as an effort to provide the best care possible for your furry friends. Please remember to bring a fecal sample to the visit, as microscopic parasites can be present even if your buddy's poop looks normal. Below, you will find links to web sites that can help you in your endeavor to learn more. Of course, we have pamphlets and handouts available in the office also. Have you ever wondered how your pet's age compares to your age? How old is your pet? Do cats hide their illnesses better than other pets? Are there things you should be doing every day besides feeding your loved one? You can find out! |
