Pet Health Reminders for Pet Appreciation Week

With Pet Appreciation Week right around the corner, we want to take this opportunity to shine a spotlight on everyone’s favorite members of the family: your pets! Your furry friend is a constant source of unconditional love, so take the time this Pet Appreciation Week to send some right back to them. Read on to find out how you can celebrate your furry friend! 

Tailoring the Perfect Diet

Making sure your pet gets the right diet is one of the most important things you can do for their health. A balanced diet, rich in essential nutrients, provides the fuel your pet needs for a vibrant life. Look for foods that contain complete proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Not sure which one is right for your pet? A consultation with your veterinarian can help you choose the right product for your beloved companion.

The Importance of Exercise

Regular exercise is vital–not only for your pet’s physical health, but also their mental wellbeing. Dogs require walks and outdoor playtime, which is a great chance to spend time with them. Cats tend to be more independent, but they need just as much time for play. Exercise their bodies and minds with new toys that keep them engaged. 

Check-Up & Check-In

Your pet’s regular veterinary visits are hands down one of the most important aspects of your pet’s health regimen. Not only do these exams give your veterinarian the chance to catch potential problems, they also give you the opportunity to pick their brains. Your veterinarian is the best source of information you have at your disposal, so don’t be afraid to ask them questions that will help you better care for your pet. 

Take the time to celebrate your pet this Pet Appreciation Week–they deserve it! If you have any questions about your pet’s health or well-being, feel free to contact your veterinarian today. And don’t forget to schedule your pet’s next annual exam!
