A Longer and Healthier Life

Your pet can have a longer and  healthier life with wellness exams from your Veterinarian.  He/She can also live a healthier and longer life if not made to live outdoors.   Just the heat alone can bring illness and/or death to your pet.  If you do have to have an outside pet, then at least give him a nice outside pet house with heat and a comfy bed and always make sure they have never ending fresh water.  We've all heard the horrible and devastating neglect stories on your local news.  Please do not be one of them.

You can get dog houses or cat  houses at FurryPetStore.com or any of your local stores.  Please do not even own a pet if you choose to not take care of it properly or do not have the means to do so.   Just picture yourself in your pet's position and treat your pet as you would want to be treated.

Take your pet to a local Veterinarian for shots, blood work, dental work and a full examination upon receiving your pet for the first time.  This means from a shelter, from a friend, from a neighbor and anywhere else.  Keep them separated from your other pets as you don't know for sure that your new pet is safe yet unless checked out from your Vet.  It's always a good practice to introduce new pets to your established pets slowly.

If you notice anything unusual about your pet, take him to your Vet.  Your pet can't speak to you in words so it's up to you to notice any changes.  Take notice of his behavior, appetite, urinary and defecating issues, drinking water excessively or not drinking enough.   It's up to us to watch out for all symptoms.  Of course, spay and neuter your pet.  This is linked to a decrease in cancer, a closer relationship with your pet and a healthier and longer living pet.  Let's all take care of them so they can take care of us!  Check out special treats and new items for your pet at FurryPetStore.com.
