How Do I Protect My Dog from Fleas and Ticks?

If you want to be a good dog owner, you will need to be prepared for a lot of different responsibilities. One of the most important is to ensure that your furry friend is properly protected from parasites. There are many different parasites that can affect our dogs, but among the most common are fleas and ticks. Fleas and ticks can quickly make your dog’s life pretty miserable and, in the case of fleas, can even go so far as to affect the humans in your home too.  


Why It’s Important to Spay/Neuter Your Pet

Being a pet parent comes with many responsibilities. It may not be one of your first thoughts, but getting your pet spayed/neutered should definitely be near the top of your priority list. Spaying/neutering is the process of removing reproductive organs so that your pet can no longer create babies. However, preventing unwanted pregnancy is only really the tip of the iceberg when it comes to reasons why it’s important to spay or neuter your pet. Let’s explore them in more detail.


How to Choose the Right Boarding Kennel

If you have to leave your pet for any period of time, you’ll definitely want to ensure that they receive the best possible care in your absence. For this reason, and to avoid placing the huge responsibility of pet sitting onto a friend or family member, we strongly recommend that you look at professional boarding kennels to temporarily accommodate your furry friend.


Why Bring Your Pets in for Routine Exams

If you have a cat or dog, you likely treat them like your children. You care for your furry friend deeply and even spoil them rotten with good toys and treats. Since your pet is that important to you, then it goes without saying that their health should be just as important, too.


Top Reasons to Get Your Pet Microchipped

Most people would agree that having a pet can be very rewarding. Apart from providing food and shelter, it is vital to ensure that your pet is safe. Losing a pet can be a very traumatic experience. One of the best ways to keep your pet safe is by getting him microchipped.


Preparing for a New Puppy or Kitten

Welcoming a new puppy or kitten to your family is so thrilling. Everyone waits expectantly for the arrival of the new family member. But, in the excitement, you could forget some essential things you need to make the arrival of your new feline or canine a happy homecoming.


Risks of Poor Pet Dental Health

Oral health issues can have an impact on animals as much as they do on people. Sadly, dental diseases are one of the most commonly diagnosed problems by veterinarians nowadays.


Parasite Control and Heartworm Preventatives

Most pets will experience a parasite problem at some point during their lifetime. Not only can this be unpleasant and frustrating for both you and your pet, but there are also some types of parasites that can have serious consequences for your furry friend. Many people mistakenly believe that parasite problems are unavoidable, but this isn’t the case. There are now more treatments than ever before that can prevent your pet from ever having to suffer from the irritation and other effects of parasite infestations. 


Importance of Vaccines for Pets

Like humans, pets can also be protected from various diseases through vaccination. Taking a trip to your vet every year and keeping your dog’s or cat’s vaccinations up to date will keep your beloved pet safe and healthy.
