New Year’s Resolutions for Pet Parents

 

Animal Behavior College has compiled some top goals for pet owners’ New Year’s resolutions.

Making resolutions to keep your pets happy and healthy for the new year is important and should be at the top of your list of priorities. There are always areas for improvement. It can also be fun to establish New Year’s resolution goals that your pets can maintain as well. These pet resolutions can offer a chance to become closer than ever.

 

Pet health – Keep an eye on your pet’s health.  This would include, but is not limited to, diet, exercise, tooth brushing, yearly checkups, and shots, grooming, mental health, heartworm, and flea & tick meds.

Pet safety – Pet safety is a crucial factor when caring for a pet.  These should include pet-proofing your home by having only non-poisonous plants, removing choking, suffocation, or food hazards, and keeping chemicals out of reach.  Be sure to pet-proof your yard for dangers as well.

Pet insurance – Pet insurance is a health plan for our pets where the owner pays a recurring fee for veterinary expenses incurred.   Most plans are for dogs and cats, although some do offer coverage for other pets as well.  These plans cover accident-only, comprehensive, or routine care, depending on the plan that you acquire.

Other items to consider

*Spend more time with them.

*Keep pet tags on and updated.

*Investigate new and updated products that can make life easier for you and your pets.

*Purchase safe toys to keep them occupied, so they don’t get bored.

*Do not leave them alone too often or too long.

*Reduce stress for you and your pets.

*Keep them active.

*Socialize your pets with people and animals.

Dog & cat training -Training can be the most beneficial service you can do for your pet.  Training can help with things like teaching your pet to stop jumping on people, learn new tricks, obedience, barking issues, destruction of furniture and clothes, getting along better with other pets and humans, and much more.
