Every year National Pet Week falls during the first full week of May.  Its a time of the month that people in the world of animal welfare want to address ways in which you can improve the life of your pets by ensuring that you give them a lifetime of love! Here are seven days of tips that will help you to do that:

NATIONAL PET WEEK

SATURDAY

​Thanks to better care, pets are living longer now than they ever have before – but as pets get older, they need extra care and attention. Regular veterinary examinations can detect problems in older pets before they become advanced or life-threatening, and improve the chances of a longer and healthier life for your pet. Consult with your vet to find out what is 'normal' and what may signal a reason for concern about an aging pet. Give your pet a Lifetime of Love!

​

​

WEDNESDAY

See the Vet! Many pet owners wait until their pet is visibly injured or ill before visiting the vet.  Pets can often hide or mask signs of illness so ensure that your pets receive regular checkups which are essential to catching health problems early.  Find a vet that you are comfortable with while your pet is in good health to establish a good vet/client relationship. Detecting health concerns early translates into better health for your pets and your pockets as well!
