With 2022 well underway, you may be thinking about ways of improving your life. Instead of solely thinking about methods to meet your own health goals this year, why not set a few health goals for your furry friend, too? As a Sacramento veterinarian, we want to help all companion animals live healthy lives. That is why we decided to discuss a few New Year’s resolutions to help keep your pet healthy. Keep reading to discover a few easy lifestyle modifications that can have a major impact on your cat or dog’s health and wellness!
Each year, many people commit to healthier eating. Maintaining a healthier diet is a good resolution for your four-legged family member, too. Not all pet foods are created equally, so be mindful when searching for your pet's new food. Familiarize yourself with your dog or cat's individual nutritional requirements to find food that is suitable for them. If you’re not sure where to start, the vets here at Capital Pets Animal Hospital would be more than happy to lend a hand!
In addition to potentially causing obesity, lack of physical activity is a common cause of behavior issues. Improve their health (and happiness!) by exercising them daily. Walking your dog is a great starting place, but don't forget about fun games like fetch and hide-and-seek. Toys that trigger your cat's prey drive are the best way to keep them active. Consider investing in cat trees for your pet to climb and explore, too.
Even if your dog or cat is in good health, they need to see a Sacramento veterinarian on a regular basis for wellness care. Including services like exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention, routine wellness care is important when it comes to keeping your dog or cat healthy and happy. It’s a big part of being a responsible pet owner, too. It's never too late to get your feline friend or canine companion's wellness care back on the right track. Call now to book an appointment.
