Essential Tips to Promote Your Pet’s Health

Some people believe that having a pet is less hectic and demanding than raising a child—a common misconception. Pets are equally susceptible to illness and diseases just as much as a child is. Poor care and treatment administered to any pet can lead to severe consequences on their health.

As a responsible pet owner, your pet’s health should be of paramount importance. Unlike humans, your pet would not be able to communicate to you any health complications he or she may be facing. A variety of signs and symptoms, such as reduced playfulness, will signal that something is amiss.

Whether you are a cat owner or a dog owner, these vital tips will help keep your pet in tip-top shape.

Visit a Vet


Before you adopt a pet, it is wise to have it checked by a vet. A veterinarian would advise on the current state of your pet and whether your pet would require any further health checks. Your pet will be put on a vaccination schedule. It is prudent that you adhere to the schedule.

Animals tend to have a shorter life span than the average human; therefore, a vet visit would suffice at least once or twice a year.

Taking your pet to the vet can be their least favorable trip. Consider choosing a vet who will make the journey more pleasant for your furry friend.

Grooming and Hygiene


Letting your pet run loose means that their fur may end up harboring a good amount of dirt. A spa day once in a while is a good way of cleaning and pampering your pet. They deserve the best for being your source of joy, right?

From facial treatments to ‘pawdicures’ to maintenance of furs, a pet care treatment can significantly impact your pet’s health. If you find it to be a bit costly, have no fear, there are discounted offers on a variety of pet care options. Canada Pet Care promo coupon can get you the proper treatment for less.

Neutering


Spaying your pet holds a myriad of benefits. Most pets, especially cats and dogs, tend to run away from home during the mating season or when they go into ‘heat.’ Neutering your cat can help to prevent this. It also helps in avoiding any pregnancies that may lead to health complications for your pet.

Removing your pet’s reproductive organs also significantly reduces their risk for cervical cancer.

A certified vet can only do this procedure. Getting a competent vet will essentially promote your pet’s recuperation rate.

Healthy Diet


Be sure to select the right food for your furry friend that will provide adequate nutrition. For instance, cats require nourishment with a good balance of carbs, fats, and proteins. Dog food should also include these vital elements and fiber.

Ensure you provide plenty of clean water as well. Your pet’s vet can also advise on the right brands of pet food to give.

You can also include treats for your pet as a light snack in between meals or as a way of rewarding good behavior. Cooking for your pet is also a considerable option.

Making these tips a part of your routine will considerably shape your pet’s health and help address any condition that would shorten their lifespan. Talk to your vet today and find out what more you can do for your furry little friend.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!
