     The following are the most frequently asked pet health questions and answers 

Keeping your pet healty is essential in enrinching their lives. Keeping them healthy also keeps them happy. Who doesn't want their pet happy? The best advice to give would be to advise you to bring your pet to the vet regularly. The vet can then gve you specific instructions on how to keep your pet healthy. Also, the vet can give you an evaluation on what exactly your pet's needs are based on your pet's own individual results. This would be better than using tips that are for a majority, rather than focusing on your pet itself. Vets can be quite costly, so before they become ill, remember that prevention is always the best medicine. It is much easier to maintain and care for a healthy pet, rather than hoping to cure one that is ill!

To prevent any illnesses, you must know the warning signs. Symptons of illness are usually recognized by an animal panting, becoming mildly or severly weak, having an increased repiratory or heart rate, drooling, bloody diarrhea, stupor, seizures, or even collapsing. If your pet behaves in a unusual manner, have them treated immediately.

Secondly, any pet whether it be dog breeds, cat, or even bird, can easily become dehydrated. Be sure to give your pet clean and fresh water. Do this daily, don't forget to change their old water out, as well as dispose of it, so your pet will not get to it. Also, don't forget to feed your pet! There are many brands of food for animals of all kinds, just ask your vet which would be suitable and most nutritious for your pet. It is important to let your pet eat their own food. (i.e, giving a dog table food.) You must remember to never give dogs chocolate.

If you have a cat, it is best to keep them indoors. Indoor cats live longer than cats that remain outside. Cats that remain inside, are not exposed to the disease, illness, and predatory animals of the outside environment. This can apply to a dog too, however cats are more vulnerable to such things rather than a dog.

The most important tip to keeping your pet healthy and happy is to love them! No illness or disease can withstand the love you give to your pet. Pets can feel the way you love and cherish them, and that leads to a happy life. Play with them as much as your schedule allows, buy them toys, cuddle with them from time to time. Pets have feelings just as you do, and if you give them your heart, you'll get the same from a healthy and happy pet in return.
