If you do not already have a regimented schedule for all the needs our pets count on us for, there's no better time to start then a new year. Time seems to fly by if you live a busy life and before you know it weeks and months have passed. It is important that your pets get all they need throughout the year to keep them healthy and happy.
These include:
*monthly heartworm preventative
*monthly flea and tick preventative
*6 month fecal parasite check
*yearly heartworm blood test
*yearly exams
*yearly vaccinations
*yearly blood work (seniors/chronic)
Sometimes we just have too much going on at once and it is easy to forget things. The most convenient way for me to remember is to sit down at the beginning of the year and mark the calender of all the regular events and animal treatments for the entire year. If you don't have time for that, maybe try a marking a month at a time. Most importantly always remember that no matter what life brings, no matter how crazy we may get, our pets are never too busy for us. We owe it to them to prevent anything we can and keep them healthy.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
