6.Get Moving

Not only will daily exercise keep your pet physically fit and mentally healthy, it helps channel aggressive and destructive

behavior. Regular activity also burns up calories and increases muscle mass and cardiovascular strength. When it comes to

canines, individual exercise needs vary based on breed, sex, age and level of health, but a couple of walks around the block

every day is probably not enough—especially if your pooch is an adolescent or a member of the sporting, herding, hound or

terrier breeds. And if your cat has fallen into bad exercise habits (i.e. sure, she can run—to her food dish!), you will have to

engage her in supervised fun and games. Always start slow, though, and limit beginning sessions to five minutes or so.

    7.Battle the Bulge

Not enough exercise and too much food will cause any animal to gain weight—especially pets, who rely on you to regulate

nutrition and activity levels. Excess flesh can cause health problems, including arthritis and liver and heart disease. Overweight

pets face increased risk during surgery, and really fat cats can get a form of diabetes. What’s the best way to tip the scales in

your pet’s favor? Gradually decrease her food intake while increasing her activity level. You can switch to a reduced calorie food

or make a cutback in the portion size of her regular food. We recommend a gradual reduction of 10 to 25 percent for cats, and

25 to 33 percent for dogs—but it’s always a good idea to check with your pet’s vet first. 

    8.Do a Weekly Health Check

Regular home checkups are a great way to nip potential health problems in the bud. Plus, they’re as easy as one, two, three:

- Check under your pet’s fur for lumps, bumps, flakes or scabs.

- Check your pet’s ears and eyes for any signs of redness or discharge.

- Make note of any changes in her eating or drinking habits. If something seems off, call the vet.

    9.Memorize Our List of Foods to Avoid

Our experts at the WE Animal Poison Control Center urge you to avoid feeding the following foods to your pet: Alcoholic

beverages, avocado, chocolate, coffee, fatty foods, macadamia nuts, moldy or spoiled foods, onions and onion powder, raisins

and grapes, salt, yeast dough, garlic, and products sweetened with xylitol.  More…

    10.Don't Forget Your Pet's Teeth

Does your pet have morning breath—all day long? This is a major indicator that your pet is in need of dental care. Particles of

food, saliva and bacteria—what’s commonly called “plaque”—can build up on the teeth and gums and cause infection. If left

untreated, infection can result in tooth decay—and even move into the bloodstream and affect your pet’s heart, lungs, liver,

kidneys, bones and joints! Check your animal companion’s teeth and gums at least once a week, and ask your vet how you can

further prevent gum disease by regular brushing with a toothpaste formulated especially for your pet’s species.
