Health Watch

Dental Care

Dental care has saved the lives of more pets than any other advance in the field of veterinary medicine in the last 15 years.

Smaller dogs and cats live 15 to 20% longer if they receive dental care as needed throughout their life.  Larger dogs live 10 to 15% longer!  Be sure to ask your veterinarian about regular cleanings you can do at home, and when it is time to have your pet's teeth professionally cleaned.

Obesity

Obesity is the most common nutritional disease in pets.  Although most owners
don't see their pets as heavy, 44% of household cats and dogs are overweight and another 16% are likely to become so because of thier age and activity level.  To make sure you are feeding an appropriate amount to your pet, try feeding twice a day, giving her/him 20 minute intervals. In no time at all, she/he will be eating healthy amounts.

Just like us, exercise gives our pets energy, assists in maintaining a healthy weight, keeps muscles and joints flexible, can increase longevity, and above all makes them feel great!
