 Head, Hands & Heart
for Pet Safety and Care
-
At 7 years our animals are considered
getting older.
-
Old age is a condition, not an illness
or a disease.
-
The best diet for your pet is low salt,
low calorie, high fiber, high protein, vitamin & mineral fortified.
-
Kidney failure is the #1 cause of death
for senior cats & #2 cause for senior dogs. (#1 for dogs is heart
failure)
-
Cancer is a greater risk for dogs, but
more deadly for cats. DO NOT underestimate any lumps, bumps or
ulcers on your pet's body.
-
At least once a week massage your pet from head to tail. Be
sure to include their legs, under the legs, tummy & between the
toes.
-
Have a "pet first aid kit"
available-include plenty of gauze, cloth pads, tape, peroxide &
benadryl.
-
Have an emergency house plan for your
animals that is easy to execute.
-
Letting our pet hang his head out of the
window is not a good safety idea. (I know, it's fun, but consider
that cracked windshield from a small pebble. It could have been an
eye)
The best way to care
for our beloved pets is to use our head (think safety first), our
hands (feel & know your pet's body) and hearts.
