At
Crossroads Veterinary Clinic your pet's health is our number one
concern.
You can help us keep your animals in top physical condition. Here are
a few tips to help you care for your pet.
- Whether your new pet is a puppy or kitten or a mature animal,
bring him in for a thorough checkup.
- Schedule an annual checkup for your pet.
- Ask us about recommended vaccinations for your pet and keep
them up to date.
- Treat for parasites like fleas and worms. We supply a variety
of parasite prevention products to keep your pets pest free.
- Feed your pet good quality food formulated to meet his nutritional
needs (don't expect your dog to thrive on cat food!).
- Don't overfeed! Overweight pets have more health problems than
lean ones.
- Give your pet plenty of exercise.
- Provide a clean place for your pet to sleep. Outside
pets need shelter from rain and extreme temperatures.
Clean
litter boxes daily.
- Trim your dog's toenails regularly.
- Keep pets clean with regular bathing and brushing.
- Keep their teeth clean - use toothpaste made for pets. Schedule
tooth cleaning with us if plaque starts to build up.
- Spay or neuter your pet to avoid unpleasant habits (like spraying
in cats) and to prevent injury from fighting or wandering.
