The Do’s and Don’ts of pet unwellness
With the focus this month being pet emergencies, our team would love to share our top tips on what to do – and what not to do! – when your pet is unwell.
Vaccinating? First, check for general health!
There are three reasons why we recommend a full consultation and health check for every pet at the time of vaccination:
Unexpected allergies
If we surveyed pet owners about potential allergy symptoms in dogs and cats, most would list signs such as recurrent ear infections, generalised itchiness, paw licking, or tummy upset.
Dental health duties
Whilst most owners understand the impact of their pet’s oral health on their general health and quality of life, many may still need clarification on the practical ways to achieve excellent pet dental hygiene.
A recommendation for regular rechecks
Whilst annual rechecks are sufficient for monitoring the health of most young to middle-aged pets, our team recommends 6-monthly rechecks for cats and dogs over eight years of age.
