First of all, congratulations on being a pet parent! Exhilarating feeling! Let me help you with few of best practices on how to become the best pet parent ever!
Veterinarian care
Bringing a new pet in the house, requires close attention to medical necessities of the pet. This plays a major role in overall health and well-being of the pet.
Knowing your pet’s medical history is essential. It provides valuable insights into their individual needs and helps you tailor their care accordingly, recognizing how they may differ from other pets.
Skipping vet checkups and delaying vaccinations can leave your pet vulnerable to preventable diseases for example; in dogs we see Canine Parvovirus and Adenovirus. Prioritizing their health with regular appointments and readily available records gives them the best chance to stay happy and well.
Safety
If you don’t pay attention to the safety around your pet, there’s no outrunning the bullet. Open doors and windows can be an escape route for pets, potentially causing serious injuries.
Cables and wires are items found in every household and can be very tempting to chew on. Also, avoid leaving small, toxic items such as plastic, coins, batteries, rubber bands, etc. — basically, things that pets could swallow. Make sure to pet-proof your house accordingly.
Hygiene
It’s highly likely that mud gets lodged between your pet’s paw pads. Always wash your pet’s paws after walks to remove dirt. For waste removal, use a pet-safe wipe or gentle shampoo recommended by your veterinarian.
Food
Always refrain from feeding adult food to pets; they have their own dietary requirements that should be tailored to avoid harming their health. From a pet owner’s perspective, feed them only food that is ideal for them; for example, for newborn dogs, Cerelac is the ideal choice. Never feed your own type of diet to pets.
Trainning
We humans tend to send our children to schools to get trained for a better life. Same goes for our pets, we train them, we enable them to perform better. This helps them to have an active life and also will help you to better understand them and their needs. For example – Potty training will help you to understand when they need to DUMP!
Shelter
Our furry friends get attracted to the water because of their fur and love to roll around in it. Make sure that your pet resides in a hygienic environment. Exposure to unhygienic or damp places can lead their skin to become infected from ticks, maggots and worms. Potentially leading to several other diseases.
