Pet Care Tips for Every Age

Click Herepets, TheNest.com, Science Diet

You’re at a certain point in your life, and so are your pets -- keep them happy and healthy with these tips!

Dogs
Puppy: Monitor your puppy’s weight and include lots of healthy activities in his day. Visit the vet often and feed him the right foods -- hey, it’s good prep for having a baby!

Adult dog: Unfortunately, your dog can’t talk, but he may be trying to tell you something. Pay close attention to your dog’s behaviors -- if something doesn’t seem right, be sure to schedule a visit with your veterinarian to make sure your dog’s as healthy as can be.

Mature dog: Dogs’ bodies and daily activity levels change with age. As your dog gets older, you may have to change his food to reflect any changes in his health -- just like we have to do!

Cats
Kitten: Between catnaps, kittens are always on the go. The mornings and evenings are peak activity times for kittens, so make sure to play with her before bed so she’s tired when you are!

Adult cat: It’s important to encourage playtime at this age. Got a flashlight? Play “Catch the Light”: Shine the light on the floor and watch your cat try to catch it.

Mature cat: For cats, the “golden years” begin at age seven. Make sure you feed your older cat easy-to-digest foods that are lower in fat and calories to counteract her changing activity level.
