\"\"Making changes is never easier than at the start of a new year. Sure, it can be a challenge to embark on a new running regimen in January (unless an indoor treadmill is available), but general resolutions can lead to great changes throughout the new year. When we make a list, set the stage for change, and commit to better choices, we\u2019re more likely to be successful.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019re not the only ones who benefit from new year\u2019s resolutions. No matter what species, breed, age, or lifestyle, overall pet health and happiness can always be improved.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where to Start?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not unusual to feel a bit overwhelmed regarding changing your patterns or perspectives, but pet health resolutions can be very simple to make \u2013 and keep.<\/p>\n

Start small with goals you know you can reach; branch out to next-level achievements once the foundation for change has been established.<\/p>\n

Basics of Pet Health<\/h3>\n

Exercise – it\u2019s not just good for humans. Pets need it, too! If you\u2019re already walking your pet once a day, increase it to twice a day. Shake up your pet\u2019s routine with new outdoor experiences like hiking, boating<\/a>, or running alongside your bicycle. For your indoor pet, try playing with them more frequently throughout the day, and encourage them to play<\/a> new games like hide-and-seek, fetch, or agility-based games.<\/p>\n

No More Indulgences<\/h3>\n

What goes hand in hand with exercise? Diet, of course! Take action against a pet’s weight gain<\/a> by carefully measuring food portions, adopting an age-appropriate food, and eliminating high-calorie treats. Before you make changes, however, we recommend scheduling a wellness exam to ensure your pet gets exactly what they need nutritionally.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Wellness Exams<\/h3>\n

Pet health is greatly improved by regular wellness exams<\/a> because we\u2019re able to detect illnesses early on and safeguard against future problems. Don\u2019t forget, routine vaccinations and parasite prevention must continue throughout the entire year. We can also help you address any issues related to grooming, behavior, or other pet health concerns.<\/p>\n

One More Thing<\/h3>\n

Do you brush your pet\u2019s teeth at home? Good oral hygiene<\/a> directly impacts overall pet health, with poor dental habits leading to periodontal disease and systemic illness. A great resolution in the new year involves daily or weekly attention to your pet\u2019s teeth, annual professional cleanings, and any other necessary procedures.<\/p>\n

Three Cheers for Pet Health!<\/h3>\n

Our veterinarians and staff<\/a> are always here for you and your pet. As you begin another year together, we hope it\u2019s full of pet health, happiness, and good times. Happy New Year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
