Pet Grooming and Care

Constant urination cane caused by many things! It could be for parking scent, or to let predators know that they are there too. When you noice a change in you pet’s urinary habits, take them to the vet. If your pet typically goes pee all at one time, but now that start to pee a little at a time all the time, take them to the vet. If you notice changes in your pet’s behavior, they are typically trying to tell you something. Dogs are typically way better at letting their humans know that they don’t feel well. Cats are masters at hiding illnesses.You should bathe your dog about once a month. Overbathing can dry out their skin and lead to dog ecxcema. Unless they are super stinky, do it once a month. Cats rarely need baths. Cats are great a grooming themselves, especially if they are indoor cats only. Remember to never use human shampoo or conditioner. Pooch or Feline specific products only! How often you brush depends on the breed of dog or cat. If your dog and cat has long/medium hair, you should be brushing them a few times a week.

Pet Resolutions Part 2

Today we are doing pet resolutions part 2! There are a lot of fun things to do around your house with your pets! Dr. RuthAnn and Junior tell Bernadette that they both play hide and seek with their pets! Talk to your pets. They might not be able to understand you, but having them hear your voice is soothing. Car rides are great, but you have to do it in a safe way. The safest way to transport your pups is to secure them with their very own seat belts or dog car harnesses. Not only does a seatbelt confine your furry friend, but it keeps them safe in the event of an accident.Dr. Ruthann Lobos recommends taking your furry family member into the vet for a wellness check once a year. Once your animal is older, age 7-8, she suggests going to the vet twice a year. Be observant. Id your pets and always microchip your pets. Microchips are the best way to never lose your pet for good.
