Pet Care Your pet relies on you for: FOOD Choose food that's nutritionally complete for your pet. Don't rely on "people food" or table scraps. Ask your veterinarian for advice. WATER Make sure your pet has lots of clean, fresh water. Change it twice a day. SHELTER A clean place to call "home" is important to your pet's health and happiness. GROOMING Good grooming keeps your pet clean and looking good. And, it gives you a chance to check for health problems (ask your vet for instructions). EXERCISE Physical activity helps keep your pet happy, healthy and trim (but don't let him or her run loose!). LOVE & AFFECTION Pets thrive on the attention of their owners. You'll enjoy the companionship, too. PROPER VETERINARY CARE IS VITAL Your Veterinarian is a Doctor - a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Each state requires veterinarians to be licensed. His or her education includes: 2 - 4 years of college 4 years of veterinary school Additional specialized training (in some cases) Schedule Regular Check-ups - at least once a year for a healthy adult animal, more often for young animals. And see your veterinarian any time problems develop. Seek Your Veterinarian's Advice - on how to best care for your pet. He or she will be happy to answer any questions. VACCINATIONS Get Vaccinations and Boosters - as required by local law, and according to your veterinarian.
