PET CARE TIPS

Important Cat & Dog Pet Care Tips

Love - The most important thing that you can give your pet is love!
Exercise - As one of the most important things that you can give to your pet, exercise can help reduce the risk of arthritis, joint disease, and diabetes while also giving your pet an outlet for his excess energy.
Regular visits to the veterinarian - Regular visits to the veterinarian are very beneficial for several reasons:

Provide your dog with their yearly vaccinations.
Help make it safe for your pet to be around other pets.
Prevent diseases that could otherwise be very serious to you or your pet's health.
Catch any health problems before they are out of control.

Good nutrition - There are many commercial pet foods that offer options for a well-balanced, moderate-cost, high-quality diet for your pet. At Town & Country Veterinary Clinic, we offer nutritional consultations.
Grooming - Not only can regular grooming make your pet pleasant smelling, but it can also help to prevent health problems.
Enrichment - Don’t allow your pet to suffer from pure boredom. Provide your pet with toys that will provide a mental challenge for them. It is also a good idea to hide treats inside them so that your pet will spend hours trying to figure out how to get it out.
Reassurance and positive reinforcement - Always commend your pet for doing the right thing.
Discipline by positive reinforcement - Dogs that are well behaved are more easily brought out of the house and generally cause less stress to their owners.
Time - Spend time bonding with your pet by exercising, grooming, or play games with it.
Socialization - Expose your pet to many things so that it will be able to adapt and behave in most situations.
