We all have that special someone in our life. That little ball of energy overly excited to see us home from the grocery store. The excited bliss and pawing at the glass upon seeing us approach the door. The second we walk in the door the tail wags so much it takes over the rear half, rendering it unable to move in any position contrary to the tail. For many, that special someone is a regular part of the family, regardless of his or her four legged nature.
Fido and Fifi are the perfect reasons to go for a walk, play fetch for hours, and relieve stress. As they are the perfect addition to any family, it is important to keep them happy and healthy, like any of your children. Sure we all listen to them when they want something - it is apparent to us when they are speaking, but can you figure out when they are telling you something is wrong? When they have an infection, illness or disease? Most of us cannot and that is why we have Vets.
Like your child, your pet needs to go in for regularly scheduled exams. You should talk to the vet about vaccinations, irregular behaviors and make sure your pet gets a thorough physical. Your vet has the ability to diagnose ailments and diseases and a yearly exam is the best time to find them.
If your fuzzy member of the family exhibits changes in behavior, eating, stool or urine it is also time to see the vet. These may be symptoms of a larger problem and waiting for a yearly exam may not be wise. There are normally a few solutions to every ailment, so you can opt to take the least invasive or most financially sound option and not feel overwhelmed.
