I will watch my figure....
- I think I'm just about perfect, but Dr. Garnett is always yammering on about how important it is to keep your pets slim and trim, so I'm going to set a good example. I'm lucky to have a team of doctors at my disposal to manage my diet, but I will also do my best to keep the begging for goodies to a minimum. If you're wondering if you've put on any holiday weight, encourage your owners to bring you to Care for a weigh in. You can take advantage of the scale in our lobby any time we're open.
- Did you know that by two years of age, 70% of cats and 80% of dogs have some degree of periodontal disease?! Not only is gingivitis and tartar accumulation unsightly, it also leads to bad breath and tooth decay. Serious dental problems may even lead to infection that can spread throughout the body, often affecting the heart and kidneys. Don't be a statistic! Even if you're not a fan of brushing, there are other products available to keep your pearly whites clean. The dental care saying goes... "good to chew, better to rinse, best to brush". Every little bit counts!
- While we pets never have to worry about finances, our humans apparently get very excited about the opportunity to save money on our veterinary expenses. "PAW" stands for "Pet Annual Wellness", and these plans are designed to make providing high quality health care for dogs and cats easy. The plans offer discounts on preventive services (examinations, vaccines, blood tests, etc.) and allow your human to spread the cost of care over 12 months. Some of the plans even include dental cleanings (see above). How perfect is that?!
I will spend less time pestering Dr. Gilbert...
- Wait a minute, that's just too much fun. Maybe I'll save that one for 2016.
All the best from Care,
Riley the Cat
