Dogs and cats require consistent care and attention to keep them healthy and happy! Here are four essential daily care tips that you can do for your pet.
Nutritious Diet:
Cats and dogs should have kibble and/or wet food, according to their age. Lucky for you, most brands of pet food have plenty of choices for puppies/kittens, adults, and senior pets. We also want to make sure our pets have water at all times to keep them hydrated. Click here to learn more about what food dogs and cats can eat.
Regular Exercise:
Ensure that your pet maintains a healthy level of activity by participating in daily play sessions and walks.
Grooming and Brushing:
Just like you, our pets need their teeth and fur brushed regularly. As pet owners, we can trim their nails, groom their coat, and brush their teeth!
Make a chart to keep track of your pet’s daily care:
Use a chart like this one below to make sure you always remember to give your dog or cat the things they need:
| Day | Food | Water | Walk |
